This is a poem, written by an 80 year old in isolation. The world has caught a virus but it's nothing you can see so here I am on house arrest in case it's after me!

Walked down Sandy Lane this afternoon and saw a group of youngsters in the car park cheering on a lad in a white car driving around the car park showing off. You can keep young chilldren at home but what can you do about teenagers?

Daniel Force, barkeeper at the Brunswick Arms in Dawlish, said they had been closed for six weeks for a refurbishment. We even had a police officer come in to enforce the closure and make sure we close our doors at midnight." Read more... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-51978261

Can’t get on to ‘Devon Live’ website since yesterday for any further information.

Car park literally full with groups of people chatting and eating and drinking from mobile cafe. In 15 years the only time its ever this busy is usually New Years eve. Amazing how people react to a pandemic.

Restaurants, nightclubs, theatres, and gyms have also been told to close as soon as they reasonably can Prime Minister Boris Johnson says anyone planning a drink on Friday should not to be tempted as the country makes a collective effort to 'push down further' down the curve of the virus.

Being an old fart who has had the sad misfortune to be born in the U.K and had to endure decades of bull from politicians. I have slowly, over the years, evolved an inbuilt bull s££t translator. Which has been working over time with politicians saying how the government will cope and the NHS. Batten down the hatches... World War V is here and the incompetent are in charge. God save us all.

Ha ha ha

People need to get home somehow!

All these tall, narrow houses with lots of stairs - a good bet might be to get shares in stairlifts for people in about 20 years' time.

I remember the years that some councillors were extremely proud of the fact that they didn't increase the precept year upon year. But they did keep up with pay increases for the staff, and the cost of any services they paid for increased and any materials they bought increased so effectively each year they could do less with the money they had. There should be a small increase each year, the ...

The media are to blame for reporting panic buying in other towns/cities, not just in the UK but down under etc, so it is the old adage, Monkey see, Monkey do!

Nice gesture, but to be stuck in a crowd of people shouting and cheering at this moment in time doesn't seem the best option for your health. Not to mention traveling to and from and using public toilets and food outlets, in my opinion.

Get rid of her and her cronies and get more police now with the money u would save.

Joshua Garrett and Ben Bramall had been friends since school and they and classmate Daniel Whitehead became notorious when they were just 16 for being among the first in the country to receive ASBOs. Garrett and his four henchmen were trying to protect a heroin and cocaine dealing business from a London gang which were trying to move into their territory. “Devon and Cornwall Police will ...

Am I on an alternate Earth where the reverse on logic and common sense prevails and only evil and greed are rewarded? The NHS has been eroded for decades whilst the management continues to grow like the fungus on moldy meat. Its about time this countries numerous festering swamps were drained and the country was run for the people not the establishment.

And we all know which people get the most out of these positions of power, DONT WE?

I doubt it.

More gutter filth cleared from our streets.

The Lakes this morning as my Dad used to say " There no such thing as bad weather lad just bad clothing"

Even more rubbish being broadcast.

https://www.gov.uk/government/news/uk-announces-new-points-based-immigration-system Nice one Boris. Great to have a PM on our side for once. A points based system is ideal and should have been done decades ago. We don't need any more lazy people, we got plenty of our own.

And now we have storm Ellen on it's way.
