Thieves are using cable ties on lampposts to steal dogs!
More an example of stupid hunger for outrage than actual provincial craziness.

Variation on the "civil engineering graffiti on the pavement is a sign that Pedobear is operating in your area" moral panic.  I'm sure people make these things up for the lols.

Mayor Marvin mugs boy for bike in Bristol playground! SHOCK!

The bloke on a kid's bike is Bristol's mayor, Marvin Rees (endangering his mayoral brain by stunt cycling without a helmet! shockhorror!) and presumably the only kid on foot is shouting in anger "Hey mister, bring my bike back!"

Storrington's slabs stolen!
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-sussex-56268078

Partner's brother's in-laws live there. Hope they don't fall/get muddy.

I have asked the Paving Slab Fairy if she ran short of slabs but she lives in France now...

Similar happened a few years ago about two streets from here. I don't know who the Paving Slab Fairy is but she must have quite an appetite.

She doesn't eat them so much as dish them out as punishment...

A primary school is welcoming back its pupils with a special assembly - consisting entirely of teddy bears.

More than 500 well-behaved toys were filmed sitting in the hall at Thrapston Primary School in Northamptonshire.

I did like the response to that which pointed out that the 4 parking spaces being removed to make way for the cycle lanes would be replaced by 45 new spaces.

If it wasn't for people like Mr O'Hare, local journalists would have to find real news to write about.
