500,000 flock to ‘Sunny’ Bournemouth and wreck the beach.


Thank goodness I have the Kingshed pub at the bottom of my garden.

How can that many people be so ignorant and reckless? We are seeing the same foolishness here in the US. I fear Darwinism will be the only way out of this, but unfortunately with this virus the fools will take out some of the wise and prudent along with them.

I’m now on day 98 of lockdown and feel annoyed when I see this after our household been strictly following the rules.

reply

People aren’t even allowed to have graduations, funerals or weddings yet selfish bozos are flocking to beaches, bars, and nail salons.

Thank you for strictly following the rules. My household has done the same since March 13, just going out for essentials and exercise. Wearing masks and distancing when we do.

I run 5K, three times a week at about 6:30am in the woods where I live, so I don’t see anyone (apart from the odd dog walker about half a mile away). Other than that I have not left the house; luckily I’m blessed with a large garden.

All shopping is done online, occasionally the missus does click and collect. She also does the school run now the kids are back at school. So, I’ve had no human contact for 98 days.

well you got the wife n kids.
Its been Me n the cat for the duration for me... bliss :)
The girlfriends started coming round again . we've bubbled our houses.
The working from home is likely to continue permanently the bosses say! :)
I intend to just carry on like this.
They can open the pubs*, malls, highstreets ,restaurants, and cinemas - but i wont be going.

*seeing as people are getting used to meeting up in small groups at their houses

reply

Oh I'm not complaining. Lockdown has been very kind to me, but I get annoyed when people can't behave nicely.

reply

Wow - I don't believe I've seen any beaches that crowded up until now.

reply

I live a 5 minute car drive from this insanity, which is normal during the Summer, but worrying just at the moment.

reply

I saw this story and immediately thought of you, Andy. Cheers for having the Kingshed pub! 🍻

reply

It’s bloody madness! Second spike here we come 🙄

reply

Disgusting behaviour. Yesterday and today we've been out and any rubbish we had was put into a carrier bag, brought home and disposed of. There is no excuse.

They were pooing in bags and just left it on the beach .... didn't even put it in a bin at least.

Shameful 🤬

“Any rubbish we had was put in a carrier bag”

Why don’t people get this🤷‍♂️

Meanwhile oop north....

Take a look at this chav going full retard after being asked to pick up the shitty nappies she and her family left on the beach.
This embarrassingly, is my home town, making a lovely impression on a young fisherman visiting from Liverpool

I felt sorry for the lad.

is this a bank holiday long weekend??

reply

No! But lots of students and younger children are still off school. And lots of hospitality jobs don't go back to work until next saturday.

reply

the glastonbury festival would have been this week.

reply

Could be people who booked time off work to go there then 🤷‍♀️.

The problem is that English people can't go to Wales, which alot of us would do. So instead, everyone has ended up in one location Instead of being spread out around the isle.

I really miss the Welsh beaches!

reply

The funny thing is, I’m blessed with several miles of world class beaches here, yet everyone crams themselves into the mile between the two piers *smh*

reply

They are probably all people like myself though. They live from out of the area and just search Google maps for the nearest beach, unaware that there is actually loads of coastline to visit. It's why we stayed inland as we knew all the tourist spots would be packed.
We found a lovely river bathing pool in Stratford, even the swans were friendly 🤗

reply

Excellent!

I like exploring slightly out of the way places.

reply

We’re too scared to send our kids back to school.
We’re too scared to go back to work.
I know, let’s all go to the beach and behave like animals 🤷

reply

Sounds about right 😄💩

reply

Nope, just another day in paradise.

reply

Its irresponsible for sure, but I do think its laughable that the MSM are condemning this but when there are mass protests, destruction of public monuments etc, violence for police brutality occurring in another country, its totally fine to break quarantine.

40 tons of waste left behind!!!
People can be awful pigs
I took boyo fishing today (we skunked out, not a nibble) and we took other people's litter out with us in a bag

Thank you !!
