I've been privately screaming for the police to clamp down on the pi55-takers for the past 9 months, and yet here I am, now looking at these latest stories, thinking how OTT they're being! I guess for it to work for all, the Government need to define "local area" with a factual and actual figure, whatever that may be. That would at least be a start, and if it's in the rules, then at least we'd all know where we stand, and would have much less cause to complain, if we get copped! There is a definition of local area, its your village, town, or part of the city you live in. That said it does seem ludicrous whats happened here...the coffee being a picnic is stupid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure how a coffee has or will ever constitute a picnic and I think driving 6 miles hardly seems excessive either. A keen cyclist pal of mine will ride up to 60 miles in a single session, quite often more. Is he endangering others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you saying it's badly managed or something else more sinister ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derbyshire police have actually said the opposite and they’ll be reviewing all the fines given out . from Sky News: Quote In a statement on Friday, Derbyshire Police said it had received further guidance the National Police Chiefs' Council (NPCC) which had clarified that the "COVID regulations which officers enforce and which enables them to issue FPNs (fixed penalty notices) for breaches, do not restrict the distance travelled for exercise". The force said: "All fixed penalty notices during this relevant period that have been issued will be reviewed for compliance. "All recipients will be contacted."

In the place my brother worked he said you could ask people where their masks are, but if they claim a health reason (like asthma) then you have to accept this, no evidence required. In other news, I went to post office on Monday to send a couple of presents to my parents. It was very busy with people sending/returning parcels. The one member of staff had no mask on, and licked his fingers twice whilst serving me a jiffy bag and a stamp. This is a small shop with post office facilities, not one with staff behind screens. He must be trying to become a super spreader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tis but a short step from there to 6-figure deals in the soaraway sun under headlines such as "my nights of shame with boys in blue" complete with obligatory refusals to print details "not suitable for a family newspaper".

This exposure is not normally afforded to victims of actual police brutality. Guess jobsworthy cops is just massive news in some circles! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSD Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 My idiotic neighbours have got people around for a party I think. The arrogance is really appalling. The police have been stopping walkers and fining them yet even though me and a couple of neighbours have reported these muppets, they dont particularly want to know about it. Absolute *********. Once things go back to normal, I might look at moving to somewhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went in to buy my usual Saturday sausage roll and the nice lady behind the counter picked it up by hand and placed it in the bag, Couldn't understand then why i refused to purchase it!!

Attention seekers I am one degree of separation as i am related to one of the police officers involved in this. Let's say it isn't like what is being reported and the BBC have been economical with the truth in the initial reporting and how it came about being news. Used have a little rhyme when i was a kid starting out something like the Germans are advancing on the west flank, it eventually turns to the Mormons are dancing on a wet plank. This is very similar.
