Bristol is full of walkers. They like to do it in the parks, but some of them would rather do it with someone else.
No, that's not a typo, but it might be a Blur reference.

Keynsham in the news!
Admittedly it's only cycling news, but for bonus points it features Jacob Rees-Mogg.

When you espouse white supremacy, the best thing you can do is go and live in a hot place. Even if it is full of TEH FORRENS.

They'll probably run an "English Pub" in Magaluf, where the locals merely roll their eyes at British boorishness, and count the tourist money.

I’m sure if that cyclist had been wearing a helmet he wouldn’t have ended up with a broken leg

A Lincolnshire beekeeper is giving up after multiple thefts of his bees.

Quote

Mr Williams, who said he had reported the first theft to police, said he now believed the thieves had used a drone to find the hives as they were not visible from the road or a nearby track.

Drone. Bees. Oh please yourselves.

Spalding recycling centre warns it cannot currently accept specific item
By Duncan Browne
Published: 11:28, 16 May 2023
South Holland’s waste recycling centre has warned residents it is currently unable to accept a specific item.

Lincolnshire County Council – which runs the site – however, hopes the issue will be short term.

A statement read: “Spalding Household Waste Recycling Centre are currently unable to accept garden waste.

“We anticipate they will be able to accept it again later today and will keep you updated.”

Mr Brown is obviously living the dream writing up important breaking news like the dump's green waste bin needs emptying

Is that Glasgow, Scotland or the lesser known Glasgow in Florida? Though adverts showing David eating a pizza, drinking coke, using a phone, etc, are pretty boring anyway.
