good for nicola ....

Hundreds of people have continued to flock to a toxic pool at a former quarry despite repeated calls for them to stay away.

The water at Hoffman Quarry in Derbyshire has been dyed black from its usual bright blue colour, in an attempt to put off visitors.

Keith Savage, from High Peak Borough Council, said he called the quarry water the "poison pond". He said: "It's not a lagoon - its waste water from an old, disused quarry."

Mr Savage said about 2,000 people a day were visiting the site, making life difficult for nearby residents who were trying to social distance.

He said some visitors were also "urinating in people's gardens" because there were not any public toilets.

Derbyshire Police told BBC North West the site had seen visitors from as far away as Cornwall.

Ilkley was packed by the river yesterday ...they closed the roads but still people came ...and then left their rubbish for volunteers to clear up....tuts

A driver's video of hundreds of revellers illegally parking and congregating by a Yorkshire beauty spot has enraged residents.

The footage of hundreds of topless people flouting the current coronavirus guidelines of maintaining social distancing near Ilkley, West Yorkshire, has unsettled many online who have branded the revellers "selfish morons".

Further posts have since emerged of the "absolute deluge" of litter left behind by the visitors, which residents have begun picking up.

Kyle Hamilton took the video at 4.30pm yesterday whilst driving down Denton Road near Ilkley, West Yorkshire, towards Leeds and past the River Wharfe. The footage shows a huge line of cars parked on either of the road, obstructing drivers from getting through, before the screen captures a shot of an area by the River Wharfe heaving with visitors.

Mr Hamilton said: "I was just amazed at the sheer volume of people in such a close proximity. I have no problem people meeting up outside within the guidelines given to us, but this clearly wasn't happening here. Cars dumped illegally on the side of the road getting tickets, stopping people going for a safe walk."

The re-opening of some Scottish McDonald's drive-thru restaurants has seen long queues of cars being directed by police.

The fast-food giant closed all of its outlets more than 10 weeks ago as lockdown restrictions came into force.

The company said it was now aiming to reopen 1,000 of its drive-thru or delivery outlets by Thursday.

Last week the company said that it would reveal the locations of the restaurants that were to open their doors on the day of each reopening to help manage demand. They said they were also working with police and local authorities.

It's a blinkin' mess. The park is like a music festival, walking the dog is like being in a pinball machine where you have to swivel to avoid one energetic human then another! The joggers are the worst, although thankfully the one tonight jogged across the road in a considerate manner. You have to plan dog walking routes carefully. Not seen many masks today. But I've noted cases in the area are up according to official stats. Anyone else getting a tickly throat and getting paranoid again?

Just goes to prove Annie, that uk population has NOT benefitted?
from wide spread university education!
It seems that the number of louts has increased exponentionally
with the increase of education
Just an observation LOL!

Donkeyman! 😇😇
