Rosehip May 2021 5:27pm, 31 May 2021 21,295 posts	0 Rosehip fields, kids playgrounds, clothes bins etc. I'm sure some brats always did set fire to things, just seems to have got worse. Maybe we just hear/see more of it.
rf_fozzy May 2021 5:35pm, 31 May 2021 14,630 posts	0 rf_fozzy Yes, there is a tendency to assume things are worse now because of (a) reporting bias and (b) age.

Not that much because you were out doing what the local youth population were doing (mostly)

Northern Exile Jun 2021 7:47pm, 1 Jun 2021 7,700 posts	0 Northern Exile Just seen a tweet to the effect that Stagecoach Cumbria have had to suspend their 77/77a service (which serves the area around Catbells and Grange) because illegal parking has made the road impassable.

Rosehip Jun 2021 9:12pm, 1 Jun 2021 21,316 posts	0 Rosehip Somewhere on Facebook there's a film that was on ITV news (north/borders/whichever) yesterday. Looks f'ing awful.
Rosehip Jun 2021 9:15pm, 1 Jun 2021 21,317 posts	0 Rosehip are you home now NE, or still enjoying the weather? Hoping it won't be quite as busy later on in the week as the bank holiday, getting out early with mum in tow isn't so easy.
Northern Exile Jun 2021 9:30pm, 1 Jun 2021 7,701 posts	0 Northern Exile Ros - no, back in North Yorkshire again. Wasn't too well yesterday, so hot-footed it home. Am thinking it might not have been wise to drink out of certain ghylls on Saturday!
