Well here we are on the first Bank Holiday Monday of the year!

And what a bizarre Bank Holiday it’s proving.

After a week of glorious summer like weather, today turned out to be so cold, it seemed like we were back in winter.

But, of course, apart from that there is the little matter of most people being confined to home – maybe working from home, or perhaps placed on “furlough”.

I think it’s fair to say that there is more than a degree of uncertainty hanging in the air and a feeling that everything will be fine again – if only we could just wake up!

Some things, however never change. There are still loads of daft people around, apparently doing stupid things for us to giggle over.

Take for instance the lunatic caught doing 130 mph on the empty M25.  We all know the phrase describing someone as being too slow to catch a cold!

Well this guy obviously took that theory to heart telling police that he was only speeding because he thought that the faster he went the better chance he had of avoiding catching the coronavirus.

Tell that to the judge – which is exactly what he’ll now have to do!

Meanwhile across in Wales one driver who was challenged by police over the necessity, or otherwise of his journey candidly explained that it was vital as he had to stock up on weed.

If you’re going to break the rules, it’s probably best not to make things worse by further incriminating yourself by admitting another crime. 

This man has now been charged with making a non-essential journey and possession of cannabis!

Likewise over in Canada a dealer in cocaine claimed that he was breaking lockdown as he was providing an essential service.

If found guilty he now faces a $750 fine plus costs!

Don’t you just love it that there are still idiots like this around to brighten our days?

See you again tomorrow,
Scott
