More holes than a colander and dreamt up by a halfwit. A Dangerous 'halfwit' nevertheless ! Some of the things that I have witnessed today whilst out fishing, just beggar belief. Makes the PM look like the Brain of Britain ! We could be in for a loooooonnnnnngggggg winter ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did however get a lot of information about people operating holiday lets and AirBnBs who shouldn't have been. About 200 establishments were fined.

I think the only reason the lockdown is easing over Christmas is because the government know there would be mass non compliance and extremely difficult to police.

scutt Posted November 28, 2020 Report Share Posted November 28, 2020 I asked the syndicate members of my shoot who live in Scotland about the situation and one lad has come back to me and told me the police are stopping folk at the bridge from Cornhill to Coldstream and turning those back who aint got a valid reason to enter Scotland. I have no reason to doubt him The police station is not that far from the bridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were heading for Berwick to buy groceries, and were instructed to turn around and do their shopping in Kelso in future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
