Nope. I stated a fact, then gave an example. No hypocrisy.
Don't ride in groups or we will be stopped cycling completely.

Although the police and crime commissioners by law have no influence of operational matters, so anything they think is inconsequential.Derbyshire have backed down hugely on this (although of course they're not saying that they were wrong!).
Several force commissioners have stated that Derbys. were wrong.

But, yeah, DerbsPlod went OTT. When I was on the beat little herberts used to put washing up liquid or food dye in the fountain in the village square - if we ever found out who they were the'y get arrested for criminal damage or public nuisance. I wonder why DerbsPlod think they're any different?

The quarry dying for coronavirus is only partially true.
The water is contaminated, dangerous, and has been dyed before to deter swimming.

If your boredom will result in x% risk of serious illness/hospitalisation/death for yourself AND others and x is higher than the still unknown risk of CV-19 your logic is fine.
If it is true and you are an appreciable risk to yourself and others the State has a system for dealing with this that you might find very restrictive indeed.

yes, that was a bit of a naughty story to hound Derby plod over! But they did bring this stuff on themselves (like Crying Wolf? I need a better analogy … )

My son 16 asked me the other day if he could have a go on my bike.Came back two hours later !
Me "where you been,you didn't answer your phone ?"
Nowhere really and forgot my phone was on silent....I have my suspicions and it involves girls.
Not just males.Brothers?
Or yoofs being yoofs?Were they also smoking weed? With seems to be the main pastime of male teenagers around here?

Don’t personally see girls around here smoking dope, maybe they’re doing it at home

I don't round here either, but there rarely seem to be groups of girls hanging around outside. Perhaps they are doing it at home!
Thinking back over the last 50 years or so, most dope smokers that I have seen anywhere have been male.
Cigarette smoking though... I have noticed the decline in smoking among males but possibly an increase among females? I'll look up the stats...
Nope, I am wrong... there has been a big decline in smoking among men and women. More men than women still smoke, but the gender gap has decreased.

I have say despite the stats the feeling is that I see more young females smoking these days
I sometimes think that too, but I think it is more a case that it is now unusual and stands out.
