Getting significantly behind on the Corona, Politics of Corona and Bonkers Shenanigans threads. Feeling honour bound to read them but knowing that they'll all be cocka block full of misery.1

Interesting that people insisting they were entitled to take their exercise and would prefer to take it along the beach are nowhere to be seen today!1

I think the point is that when it was very hot yesterday a lot of people went out to places that they would normally go to on a hot bank holiday weekend and they thought it was OK because they were using their daily exercise allowance.MrOneLung said:

Today is another great day here in Greenwich but less so elsewhere and the number of people exercising away from home, as noticed by people also exercising away from home but possibly local to them has fallen.0 -
My point is, while entitled to take exercise where ever they choose. There were in excess of 200 people congregated on the beach in yesterday’s sunshine. Yet today, while it’s freezing cold and blowing a hooligan they all stayed at home and there was virtually no one.MrOneLung said:

Some of the lousy TV link ups currently taking place. Makes me think Norman Collier was ahead of his time.

People who don't usually exercise cluttering up footpaths2

because it creates a friendly safer sound for the baby to hear. Speaking to them normally will simply confuse most babies as they associate the change in tone to them being communicated with.sillav nitram said:People who speak in a high pitched whiny voice when talking to animals or baby’s, I mean honestly why?
It's scientifically backed as a positive way to communicate with babies.
People see animals as babies, therefore they do the same. It has however also been shown that tone of voice helps animals better understand what you are trying to convey.
Deep/Angry = Bad animal
High/Friendly = Good animal
Normal = You're not talking to me so I'll ignore you.

Bloody people who don't know the unspoken runners rules of using pathways. These are the most relevant 4 that I learned as a Run Leader.
A - Notify solo walkers they're approaching from behind as to which side they'll pass on (should always be the road/grass verge side, so the person ahead is not suddenly spooked by you passing them and step into your path)
B - Run on the grass verge/road if the path is blocked by pedestrians walking. Especially if the pedestrians have buggies or animals.
C - Thank people for allowing you to pass if they are walking/ with animals/cycling/pushing a buggy.
D - ALWAYS Give a minimum of 2-3 meters as you pass others when running.
This allows people space to move out of your way if they can, allows you to move round them safely if they can't, reduces the chance of a bump if they're startled and reduces Covid risk.1 - Sponsored links:

Took the car out for a 5 minute drive as it's been sat on the drive for 4 weeks & was worried about the batrery going flat. Misjudged my speed a bit & sure I went through a red light. Now got an anxious 14 day wait to see if I get a fine & 3 points. I'm not looking for sympathy, was my own stupid fault, just bloody annoyed with myself!!0

Maybe some of this is today being a work day so those who are working from home are unable to go out in the middle of they day so take their exercise early morning or when they finish work. Simply spreads things out a bit more. Don't blame anyone who works for having a lie in on a long weekend and so taking their exercise in the middle of the day rather than early morning.T_C_E said:

I would also suggest that It's still annoying regardless of research and that some people take it to extremes of irritation.

High pitched (for a fella) highly excitable voice when you want to encourage the dog.
Deep monotone (I use”Ay”) to discourage a dog, there’s no need to get “Angry” with a dog if it’s doing something we don’t want/like it’s because we haven’t taught it any different.Talking to them in baby type voices (wtaf) they are not children/babies that doesn’t mean I love my dogs any less or I don’t cry when they are hurting, if I want some me and them time I get on the floor with them they do not come into my space without being invited. 😉
@sillav nitram
You really don’t want to be around me when I recall my dogs then. I have the most high pitched purrrring, yey yey yey yey type noise to bring them back. Lol 😉0 -
If the lights have cameras they're usually visible mounted above the lights, might be worth popping back to have a look, only stop if the light is red this time... ;-) no guarantee but might make the 14 day wait a little easier to bear...Gravesend_Addick said:Took the car out for a 5 minute drive as it's been sat on the drive for 4 weeks & was worried about the batrery going flat.

Agree though, it is annoying.1 -
I’ve never understood adults who talk to their babies as if they’re fellow adults and then wonder why they have developmental problems.Dazzler21 said:

The MIL moved in with us just before lockdown and it's bloody constant and drives me mad, weirdly it's fine when my partner, daughter or I do it. Anyone else... No bloody thanks, especially not the irritation that is a MIL.

I believe the things mounted above the lights are generally sensors to control the lights,not cameras, although they look similar. I don't think there's actually that many traffic light cameras around. Will just wait it out and see.bexleyaddick said:

My kids getting nits. How the fuck? Have they been infested for a month? Just had to wash the entire contents of the house and de-louse myself. I've convinced myself my wife has been seeing a tramp on her "exercise hour"10
