MuckleMoo Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Dundee, with it's 18 total cases since 1st June, cancelling all firework displays in November to "stop the spread of Coronavirus" is laughable tbhI would imagine it's more to do with the fact DCC, like many other local authorities, are going to be skint after all this. Probably using Covid as an excuse to save money 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Down south every nutjob and jakeball will try and cram the three months' worth of drinking they've "lost" into one day...the whole place could well end up looking like a giant Chatsworth Estate. You only had to look at the scenes at Bournemouth beach to know they are going to arse it up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In pretty much the same manner as absolutely everywhere else. Why aren't these increasing by now? How are the deaths being counted? Excess deaths? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure most places will follow and cancel fireworks/Christmas light switch ons and markets. Fcking Kilmarnock cancelled the light show that happens there in late Oct/Nov about 2 months ago which makes the Dundee decision seem more “reasonable” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are utter shite. They are essentially glorified food markets. The one in Glasgow last year was charging £8 for a single onion chopped up a bit and deep fried 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently had a hot tub party with a group of people.No idea if its true or not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as they are overpriced it was always a decent atmosphere. I’ll miss it but my bank account won’t! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it slightly amusing that any time deaths drop somewhere (except Scotland) the first go to is that they must be counting the deaths differently (which may be true vs the UK, but is still likely to be consistent with all other figures from that country), or that they are lying. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if excess deaths are still tracking behind infections then that is a good check for what is going on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
