[News] Bournemouth Beach - Major Incident Declared

[Giraffe]

Overcrowded mayhem apparently. Can't think of anything worse than sitting on a crowded beach personally. Why are people doing it? Crackers?

Let hope that any Bournemouth players caught up in this on their day off are ok.

FFS. Stark staring bonkers.

They're all just following the science, aren't they?

Can't blame them, people following guidelines. Not my cup of tea..

Thousands still furloughed with **** all else to do.......and kids not at school to entertain..........

Good old English common sense, they are just looking for Barnard Castle and took a wrong turning

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Are they all alert though?

Does seem those selfish enough to ignore social distancing are also selfish enough to leave lots of litter behind too.

Saw this earlier on on a work feed.

Leaving aside the Covid stuff, why would anybody want to drive into Bournemouth, sit in a traffic jam for an hour or more and then spend time on that beach?

I have zero comprehension.....

 

[vegster]

My worst nightmare would to be on Bournemouth beach surrounded by sweaty morons boiling their heads.

Doing a “Cummings”.

I read earlier that it took 6 Council workers 5 hours to clear the rubbish between the piers in Brighton this morning

It's not just Bournemouth.

I have just cycled back from work (Portslade to Ovingdean) along the seafront, and Brighton beaches are absolutely rammed all the way. It is busier than I can EVER remember it.

When they reopened the beaches in Florida there was a massive spike in Coronavirus, and the levels there are still high. I'd be amazed if we don't see the same thing here.

 

[Billy the Fish]

I wish MPs and media commentators would stop with the outrage and accusations.

People want to enjoy themselves, leisure facilities are closed, summer holidays abroad are cancelled. You can't blame anyone for thinking a trip to the beach might be nice on a sunny day.

 

[nicko31]

It will be a lot better from tomorrow...

I rode past at 630 this morning. Was a shit tip. Did well to clear it that quickly. There is a lack if bins though.

As an aside, I am currently on a bus in Brighton. Masks are “mandatory” according to the government website; I am literally the only person wearing one. As many mistakes as the government have made, I can’t help but think if there is a second wave then the public will have a lot to answer to.

Not dissimilar here in Lyme, absolute idiots.
