And finally… what a fine day

A couple have been fined for breaking the coronavirus lockdown rules by making a 135-mile round trip to the coastal resort of Whitby “to smell the sea”.

And finally... what a fine day

The two were travelling from Boston Spa near Wetherby when they were stopped by police, BBC News reports. 

Police said that the trip was “not a reasonable excuse to travel into our area and they were told to return home immediately”.



The local neighbourhood policing team said: “We will continue to work hard to protect Whitby and the residents who are working just as hard to keep the town and rural areas safe.”
