AVB Posted January 6, 2021 Report Share Posted January 6, 2021 A mate was playing โcricketโ with his 14 year old son today in Victoria park, London (by playing cricket basically doing catching practise with a bat and ball) and was threatened with a ยฃ1,000 fine by the local nazis. Apparently very aggressive and in his face,ย and Pete,ย the dad,ย is the most laid back person I know (artist by trade). Definitely a change in behaviour from them.ย Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captainhastings Posted January 7, 2021 Report Share Posted January 7, 2021 You can shoot in england now ย In light of the government providing greater clarity on its Covid-19 guidance and regulations, BASC is advising that outdoor shooting activities as a form of exercise are permissible once per day in England during the national lockdown, subject to two conditions. You should only travel locally to shoot which is to โstay local in the village, town, or part of the city where you liveโ as defined in government guidance. When shooting you should only meet with people you live with, your support bubble; or when on your own, with one person from another household. If you cannot comply with these conditions, then you must not shoot as a form of exercise. To do so would place you at risk of a fine and may jeopardise your shotgun and/or firearm certificate. If you have no local shooting available then you will have to take your daily exercise in other ways. ย But it beggars belief what the hell is wrong with wales Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
