    Sadly loads of beauty spots across the country have suffered like this. It’s depressing how uncaring so many people can be :(

    I’m not defending them, if it came in the car with you, the packaging will fit in the car so take it home....but....the councils haven’t been active with bins, verge cutting etc etc.

    The usual infrastructure is apparently sat at home on furlough.

    City twots having a day out. Roll on the day they can go back to amusing themselves in a retail park c/w maccy d.

    The normal countryside users don't do that do they.

    Out of interest why not just take to trolleys ? It’s for everyone’s safety

  7. It’s been the same up the dales
    Piles and piles of litter,disposable bbqs etc
    And the roads blocked with parked cars so emergency services haven’t been able to get through.
    More people have been visiting beauty spots than in the height of the summer season.
    Closed and locked up car parks have Been broken into and people camping randomly on private land.

    It dismays me the amount of rubbish being left everywhere. Beauty spots like the Lakes and beaches are obviously hit badly. However it also affects local areas too. We have a local hero who goes out "wombling" every morning and posts on our local Facebook group. The amount of rubbish he finds every single morning is staggering. Discarded masks and gloves, bags of dog dirt, bottles of "drivers tizer", blatent fly-tipping. The latest trend seems to be youths, who have not been social distancing throughout I might add, who leave piles of gas cannisters everywhere - whipped cream gas chargers i.e. nitrous oxide

    It really makes me want to weep. Absolutely no respect for the environment

    Weird, the supermarkets don’t do it.

    They do round our way.

    To be honest, supermarkets should stick to the one person per trolley / household,in the shop at any one time once the virus thing is sorted out. Makes the weekly shop slightly more bearable.

  11. When I go for a shop in our local Lidl I take a large bag fill that up and then empty the contents onto the belt at the check out and then repack it. Saves me touching a trolley or basket that someone else has.
     
  12. It's been in all the papers. Particularly down here photos of rubbish collected on the beach at Durdle Door. I had a look at the charts to see how much water people had been jumping off the top into the online ones suggest its not a very good idea! I simply don't understand peoples attitude to leaving stuff for others to clear up.

    I used to vaguely know the family that own Durdle Door, frikin nightmare at the best of times. They are forced to maintain the access etc at their cost etc and forced to allow access and keep it cleaned up. Skint aristocracy. Son who I knew married a lovely down to earth Liverpudlian and dipped out generally. When I knew him, from the pub, he was a crop sprayer in Cambridgeshire.

  20. From what ive read, approximately 0.3% of the population have covid at any one time. I guess from this picture there must be a few thousand people in this picture, so its a fair assumption that at least a handful of them have the virus. I wonder how many people have now become infected due to the lack of social distancing in this picture. We know that with no social distancing that the R number in the general population is 3-4. So my guess is due to the utter stupidity of these morons, i bet theres now at least 30-50 people happily spreading this around completely unnecessarily.

    I want this lock down over and done with as soon as possible. A want as few people as possible to die from this. I despair when i see photos like this and also the live aerial shots on sky news of the protests today. The actions of these people will 100% spread the virus around more and therefore more people are going to die and we will all be stuck in this longer than neeeded.
