I think I just got a group of goats in Llandudno arrested.
Let me explain... first, I saw this from inside a dark pub (the one I live in currently). I thought I was seeing things. So I took some video:

So I decided to see what was going on. They stopped on Trinity Square, and decided the hedges there looked very tasty (tbf, they probably are if you’re a goat ?)

They weren’t moving from their midnight feast. And they were probably going to run riot on the town, what with nobody being about due to the lockdown. I also wasn’t sure if they were keeping the required 2m apart.

So I gave @NWPolice a call to tell them a load of kids (geddit?) were running riot (I didn’t actually say that... sadly). They said they’d pass it on to officers.

And they sent a patrol car down who turned on the big red lights. So, I’m sorry if the goats got arrested. But they were being very naughty.
Also, close the gates behind you on the Orme.
And stay 2m apart at all times.
? ? ?

One more thing... so we get news alert emails from @Dataminr, like everywhere probably. Helps us find all sorts of breaking news.
Never thought my goat tweets would make it into an alert ? Framing this one ?

Goat update: they’re back, and they’re gathering in groups of more than 2 ?

???

Goats that dgaf ?

Just kidding around, yeah? ?

?? Monday goat update: they’re back. Again. And they dgaf. (H/t @86_leroy)

They run Llandudno now and we just have to accept that as fact. Shenkin must be giving them tips from the Royal Welsh.

They know exactly what they’re doing. Have some lunch from a bush and then go for a lie down in the churchyard

I, for one, welcome our new goat overlords

Can’t believe I’m writing this... they’re back (again)

I think I am now the man who stares at goats (in the middle of the road)

They definitely dgaf ?

This shows what it’s all about. They’re scared of me (a human) in this. They don’t like people. They usually only come down from the Great Orme when it’s windy, and only the back streets at the top of Mostyn Street. Now lockdown means it’s empty, they’re going further than ever.
