Villagers put up 'f*** off home' sign to stop people visiting during lockdown

Villagers in Yorkshire have put up a none too subtle message to anyone planning to visit during lockdown -  'f*** off home'.

A visitor spotted the rude message in the East Riding village of Paull after the Government allowed people in England to travel again for exercise.

Paull is a popular destination with walkers as it sits on the waterfront and has idyllic views across the Humber Estuary, Hull Live reports.

But villagers now appear to be fed up with outsiders visiting during the coronavirus crisis.

Over the weekend, a picture was taken by one walker, who sarcastically branded villagers a "charming bunch", after being welcomed into the village by the rude sign.

She told Hull Live: "Go to Paull... and get this lovely welcome.

"Charming bunch will probably accept you all when you're spending your hard earned money in their pubs."

The sign, which was propped up against a diversion signpost, also provoked an angry response from others.

Hitting out on Hull Live's Facebook page, another visitor said: "Miserable t****. We went yesterday and could hear the people who live there talking about us across the road. I gave them a piece of my mind too.

"Everyone stuck to the rules, people stopping to let people past if the path was too narrow. After two months in, a walk for some fresh air social distancing was definitely needed."

After eight weeks on full lockdown, Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced that people would be allowed to drive as far as they wanted to go for exercise, providing the journey was taken in by members of the same household and proper social distancing was followed when at the location.
