I'm going to have to stop wearing this on walks.
I keep getting strange looks from the odd person or two we meet en route who think I'm a Trump supporter.
Yesterday we went for a 10 mile walk in the countryside and came across two loads of fly-tipped rubbish, both containing evidence as to the owner of it. Now, no sensible person would fly-tip and leave their identity stamped all over it, leading me to the conclusion that some bugger is operating in the area, offering to relieve homeowners of their rubbish for cash and then dumping it. Both piles were duly reported to the council and I hope the bugger is prosecuted.
If your waste is found dumped, even if someone else has done it, you could be held responsible for the crime, the result of which could be a £50k fine or 5 years prison.
At one point we came across this.
That's some skid mark. Further along the road there were more from the same tyres, but in short bursts approaching a bend. Someone is speeding and not paying attention.
Also came across a newly excavated badger set that had been dug into the bank of a road and under the tarmac.
While the badgers may have a nice, dry roof of tarmac, I just hope it doesn't cave in when a heavy vehicle goes over it; it might prove a danger to both the badgers and the driver of any vehicle that opens a large pothole in the tarmac.
Gyms are maintaining that they are facing going to the wall because landlords aren't giving them rent holidays. I think many of them will face the axe anyway after the lockdown ends, as people come to realise they can exercise quite effectively without having to go anywhere near an expensive gym. I'm seeing all age groups out running, which is bound to have a positive effect on the nation's health.
Did you know that you expend approximately 5 times more energy when walking than cycling the same distance?
