Guy in the middle is fine. Fatty on the left is wearing tactical kit and camo. Unless he is a vet, he is a walt. Guy on the right why he holding his rifle is a bit waltish. Resting but poised. No.
Why, does being a vet give you special dispensation for wearing dpf in an act of civil disobedience against a virus?

I realise that I’m going way out on a limb here, but you’re not confusing vet, (veteran), with vet, (veterinarian), are you? Grovelling apologies if I’ve got it wrong.

If it was thousand and that was the density of the gathering then that protest must have covered a lot of ground then smile

The chap over the road from us has an old XC90 and a Mercedes Vito. I'd say 2 or 3 times a day he'll go out and fire up the old oil burners and leave them running for about 20 minutes. Occasionally will take one out, but most of the time they don't move. He's done this ever since he's lived there, not just a lockdown thing.

In the last week he's fitted a narrow blue reflective checkered strip down each side of the van and seems to be going out a lot more. I wonder if it's the first steps in becoming an NHS volunteer?

Bless them. I live in fear of seeing them out and about on my travels around Devon. I'm not sure even the Mid Devon Show is brave enough to allow them near!
O/T am I right in thinking you have a rather nice 964 shaped thing tucked away in the garage?

UK Walts are amateurs. Check out these good ol' boys protesting for the US lockdown to be lifted:

Could be a monkey vet and sick monkeys find comfort in the doctor being dressed as a tree?

I saw a yellow 55 plate pick up on the A361 near South Molton a couple of days back. Orange light bar and COVID-19 CLEAN UP RESPONSE UNIT down the sides.

Wasn't them was it?

Also my first NHS Key Worker sticker on a newish XC90 near the Royal Devon and Exeter hospital.

What a lovely invitation. Smash glass and you might find a face mask, hand sanitiser or if you are really lucky some lovely drugs.

Yes. A very interesting discussion on the radio about the good ole USA, where it was stated that many Americans arm themselves to the hilt as protection against 'government action' of some sort. (With a bit of hunting and marauding to fill in the boring bits).
