British Common Sense

Ironically, i live a pebbles throw from the beach but i spent the best part of today elsewhere but looking at the pictures on my phone it is probably a good thing because they were so busy that several councils had to declare an emergency and literally kick people off the sand.
A perfect storm of stupidly hot weather, an easing of lock-down and vast swathes of people still being on furlough meant that the South Coast was the go to place today but the crowds may count themselves lucky if they go back home with only a bad case of sunburn.
Makes a mockery of the words of the British Prime Minister who said that he was trusting 'in the common sense of the British people' because a bit of sunshine and we showed as much of that as someone going on a 60 mile trip to test their eyesight.
The UK experienced a record UV level of nine today and is being blamed on a combination of just passing the summer solstice so the sun is particularly high in the sky, ozone depletion across the northern hemisphere and the European wide lock-down recently reducing pollution levels which stops the UV being scattered quite so much.
So out came the shorts and flip flops and the preference of getting a tan and frolic in the sea rather than steer clear of Coronavirus but don't worry if Covid-19 passed you by this time, it will be making a comeback very, very soon.
