There are a heck of a lot more than '10 idiots'
Dorset police have issued 255 fines this week stating the majority were from other areas. On top of that are the advisory turn around and go home which are in the 1000's
The Chief constable has said there is a growing number of persons travelling from out of county, as examples, to see the sea (chap from Nottingham)or walk in the countryside or visit 'girfriends' they met on facebook (two idiots from London this morning). How about another driving from Bognor Regis to get his car fixed. strange thing is all the cars were seized due to being unfit for the road!
oh nearly forgot the divers, one from Edinburgh the other from Cornwall, if only they didn't get in to trouble and cause two lifeboats a RN warship two coastguard helicopters and the local fishing vessels to search for them, ( found 3 miles from his boat)they would have got a way with it...
The Dorset police are now going to go hard line and increase stopping and preventing vehicles from travelling unreasonably through the County
Dorset has one of the lowest numerical incidents of covid but a high percentage of elderly that should be protected from people travelling from hi risk/incident area's potentially bringing the CVD with them unknowingly. its the same reason other area's of the country are dreading an inrush of visitors when the lockdown eventually eases.
If everyone is sensible and does what is required by the Government then there are no issues, people who live away from metro area's understand the limits of the local hospitals and the fact they wouldn't be able to cope with a major outbreak as seen elsewhere.

Fish, you’ve made some good points in your posts since lockdown but why you have to spoil it with divisive comments beats me as you undermine your own credibility and cause bad feeling.
I've agreed with many points you’ve made but not the partisan view you hold.

F - you might get a more sympathetic hearing if you dropped the "us versus them" rhetoric, acknowledged, just for once, that the "huge majority" (sic) of town/city folk who you are so quick to condemn do accept and adhere to the lockdown guidelines and that, for them, the lockdown is considerably more difficult than it is for those of us with miles and miles of open countryside on our doorstep!

In some cases, "idiot" may be too gentle a word!

here's the point, if I took my van on the road I’m pretty sure I would be pulled by the police tout suite, so how come these people aren’t hauled up. It’s a rhetorical question really

Presumably you're a different davetommo from the one who, just yesterday, posted this -
"If you want to see idiots go out into the country when they are doing the silage. The young lads on the powerful tractors think they are the only ones on the road."
Just asking!

I’m with Fisherman, we have to keep these nasty ‘townies’ out. Local villages for local people I say. If they want to venture further afield, they shouldn’t be surprised if they end up as ‘special offerings’ at our local butcher.

Posted on 02/05/2020 22:11 by nelliethehookerNice sunny day here, still a little breezy though. Went for a bit of a ride this afternoon for a couple of hours and saw a Weasel with a Mole in It's mouth. The evening while on the phone looked out of the window and say a Field Mouse enjoying a feast on our fat balls, but it went when I went out to photo it.
I hope the ride was in the car on a necessary journey, though I doubt even in Cumbria it takes 2 hours to go shopping

So ride must mean in a car? It couldn’t possibly be a bike?

How long can I exercise for during lockdown? The government hasn’t given official guidance on how long people are allowed to spend exercising outside, however, it should – like all other time spent outside – be kept to a minimum. Michael Gove told BBC’s Andrew Marr programme earlier this month that one hour would be considered reasonable. The Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster said: ‘Well, obviously it depends on each individual’s fitness. ‘But I would have thought that for most a walk of up to an hour, or a run of 30 minutes, or a cycle ride between that, depending on their level of fitness, is appropriate.’
