Covid–19 / Re: Covid restrictions enforcement

Scenes from last night..........

It is "crystal clear" that drunk people are unable to socially distance, the chair of the Police Federation said as pubs reopened on Saturday.

Ministers had urged caution ahead of hospitality venues reopening in England after three months of lockdown.

John Apter dealt with "naked men, happy drunks, angry drunks, fights and more angry drunks" on shift in Southampton.

But police thanked the majority of people for acting responsibly as they enjoyed the night out.

When we lived in Yorkshire our lane was bordered in it, 6 foot high and when it was ripe it exploded with loud popping noises. In quantity it has quite a strong smell.

I noticed a few things growing at the base of a tree in my garden and after closer examination I realised that they were Himalayan  Balsarm
RememberIng Steve,s advice  I cut the roots out and hope that it does not grow again.    I have another one that is about  10 feet high and is growing in a Laurel hedge so That one will be next for the chop.
Individually they look ok but are very invasive when left alone

I wonder exactly where that lorry was going to dump all that sand.           They cannot deposit the sand on the North Shore without a licence from DEFRA.    I seems strange that the sand blows over from the shore but you cannot put it back without a licence

I watched an interesting report on CNN yesterday that showed an American alternate treatment instead of using ventilation. The patients blood in large volumes was richly oxygenated outside the body. like during dialysis, and then returned to the patient, taking the load off the lungs. Using this method it avoided all of the damage to the internal organs through lack of oxygen that can be associated with the use of ventilators on patients who.s lungs can no longer function efficiently. This treatment is showing a much higher successful recovery rate.

It does seem extremely odd that they have masses of surplus sand on the WS and simply never bother trucking it round to the North.

I wish CCBC would put the sand on the North Shore instead.
