Just curious as to what people are thinking / doing re summer holidays. Now Europe is opening up again, flights running, airports open, even France quarantine is optional, but UK still advises against non-essential travel and as such any travel insurance would be invalidated. What's it like at airports? Do you need to justify essential travel? We've just taken the decision to cancel our hols in France despite everything easing on the continent, solely due to UK government guidance. We are relaxed about COVID-19 but less so about what happens if whilst abroad it all kicks off again. Or how locals in France may react as we are loading the supermarket trolleys full of cheap beer and wine. Keen to hear anyone's thoughts as we have flip flopped back and forth with how we feel about everything.

Hi, I've heard conflicting reports of the recycling centre either being open or closed. I know it has been closed but does anyone know if it has reopened?

There is another thread on here somewhere It used to wake me up most nights in the summer at 3am then I changed to double glazing. The below is a summary, you're not going mad! https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2019/mar/13/what-is-the-mysterious-gl-hum-and-is-it-simply-noise-pollution

The bin at the oglander end of adys road constantly has rubbish strewn all around it. Someone leaves their trash in bags outside of the public bin leaving the foxes to have a field day pretty much every night. USE YOUR GREEN BINS (AND IF NOT USE SOMEONE ELSES - ITS BETTER THAN HAVING THE EYESORE EVERY DAY!!)

I'd get involved. Good luck.

Happy Hour at Goose Green playground. 3-5pm every Saturday. Children welcome.

Perhaps instead of seeing the beer as an issue the real issue lies with the children. Introducing a ban on drinking beer whilst looking after kids seems OTT, perhaps instead discouraging the culprits in bringing their children to the site would mean they could enjoy their beer more and pose less of a safety hazard. As an aside I hope it was Pale Ale and not Tenants Export.

This is awful. Something must be done about this. There just aren't enough police these days and people just get away with doing what they like. Like walking on a path.

Those pesky whistleblowers. Someone should report them.

Many thanks to whoever has smashed off my wing mirror on my car yesterday evening, failing to stop and leaving me to literally pick up the pieces. The mirror was folded in. It happened on Adys Road. If anyone happened to see anything please let me know. Thanks!
