Police threaten £200 Covid fines for people who have snowball fights or go sledging
2021-01-27
[SUN] POLICE have today threatened to dish out £200 Covid fines for people having snowball fights and sledging in the snow.

Forces in London, Surrey and Wiltshire sent out warnings urging Brits not to break lockdown while enjoying the snow, saying "Covid regulations still apply."

Surrey Police tweeted today: "We are currently receiving lots of calls and reports relating to snowballs being thrown and people outside sledging.

"Enjoy the snow today but please don't involve other people, particularly more vulnerable residents.

"Please stay safe and remember that Covid regulations do still apply."

Meanwhile, Wiltshire Police inspector Louis McCoy wrote: "I don't want to be dealing with sledgers and snowball fights.

"There's still a lockdown on. Think about it, don't be tempted."

And Kingston Police, West London, urged people to enjoy the snow "from the comfort of your own home" as "there's a pandemic going on."

Cops in the London borough of Merton also wrote: "Sorry to be "that grumpy relative" but with the snow coming down the way it is, please drive carefully.

"And if you’re going to have a snowball fight, please stick to your bubbles. Also do not eat yellow snow."

People caught breaking lockdown rules, which includes exercising outdoors with more than one member of another household, could be forced to pay a £200 Covid fine.

#6  Also do not eat yellow snow.

And definitely don't rub it in your beady little eyes with a vigorous circular motion!

#5  When you watch Shawshank Redemption, and realize the main characters have more freedom than you do.

That they make more money.

That the cops are more respectable.

#4  The Merton police seem a tad bit sarcastic about lockdowns, and are clearly Zappa fans.
