There’s been a lot of talk suggesting that the on-going lockdowns are resulting in ever more people finding ways of “bending or circumventing the rules.”
Now over in some parts of Canada a strict curfew has been imposed, following which news has emerged of woman being fined for breaking the curfew by walking her husband on a lead.
When stopped by police, she claimed that her partner was in fact a dog!
On Saturday, Quebec said that people would have to stay indoors between 8pm and 5am in a bid to halt the spread of coronavirus. However, dog walkers are allowed to be outside during this time in an exception to the rules.
Police spotted the pair in Sherbrooke at around 9pm, just after the rules took effect. Both of them were fined CA$1,546 (£893) despite claiming they were acting within the rules for pets.
Isabelle Gendron, of the Sherbrooke Police Department, told La Tribune they ‘did not co-operate with the police at all’ and the woman said she would not pay the ticket which I imagine will simply result in a further fine, or a complete lock up in jail.
The paper reported that in the evening from Saturday to Sunday, 19 tickets for breaching the curfew were issued.
Being a Tuesday, Margaret Mills joined me to tell us about Terling Place and one of it’s former occupants Lord Rayleigh.
Listen here to what Margaret told me today: –
I’ll see you again next week,
