What the local scallywags do when they're bored!

[Fordulike]

I just thought I would post a couple of pictures of what our local scallywags get up to when they're bored

What does a scally do when they have run out of beer bottles to smash all over the cycle path?



Resort to cracking open pots of coloured paint of course

And, when a scallywag's bin is full at their house, where do they put the rubbish then?



In the local woods, just off the cycle path. Welcome, my friends, to the North East

I wish they'd bring back beat bobbies.

Ok this sometimes does happen and I don't think it's only in the North East.
There are hundreds of miles of first class cycle tracks in the North East with excellent scenery.
I realise the OP is making a point but please don't judge the North East solely on these photos ( or the other recent post showing broken glass on the track ).

I'm sure no-one will, it happens here in the South East too, sometimes worse.

For example tipper lorry fly tipping in lanes, totally blocking them across to all traffic. And an interesting variation, driving a pickup full of waste along the road with someone on the back throwing off the content, leaving miles of road strewn with all manner of junk.

And it wasn't long ago that our local kids had a game of throwing bottles high up in the air to achieve maximum fragmentation when they landed on the road. A tall lad named Mason was apparently the champion then, but he's grown up now and the family have moved.

Currently things are quite quiet, even the murder rate isn't what it once was. Our record was eight in one month in my borough, four of them very local to me, one in sight of my windows.

All tongue in cheek BigG. I wouldn't want to scare off any potential cyclists to our scenic part of the country, so I won't mention the bear traps

Apologies.... I must have had a day when my sense of humour was stuck in one of the aforementioned bear traps! ...... or was it stuck one of the very large potholes which seem to be plaguing our roads today?

Not in the case of that fly tipping. All those I mentioned were and are in Surrey, I live right on the boundary and cycle in the lanes.

Of course we do get fly tipping in the London Borough as well, but I doubt it's any worse than anywhere else, mainly dumped household items. The "professional" fly tippers using commercial vehicles probably find it easier and safer to drive into the nearby country to do it.
