Missing anything? Delivery man appears to feast on takeaway order
Must have been feeling a bit peckish
The rider has his back turned to the camera, but appears to have food in his hand.
One delivery rider in Boston seems to have let his hunger get the better of him while on shift, as he appeared in a video allegedly eating a customer’s meal down an alleyway.
The worker was spotted by a local man down an alley at Broadfield Lane in Boston, around 12.30pm on Monday, facing away from the street, with what looks to be an Uber Eats delivery bag at his feet.

On Monday, the government’s COVID-19 dashboard recorded 24 new cases in Lincolnshire, 11 in North Lincolnshire and five in North East Lincolnshire.
According to the figures no deaths were registered on Monday. These figures include deaths both in and out of hospitals, as well as residents in hospitals outside the county.
NHS England reported no hospital deaths this week in Lincolnshire, the 15th day in a row.

Lincoln Cathedral’s Chapter House, a leisure centre, and an indoor bowls club are among the venues chosen by pro-active councils as COVID-secure meeting places.
From May 7, councils across England will no longer be able to hold virtual meetings as the government ends the measures it put in place to stop the spread of the virus in the pandemic – including allowing authorities to hold meetings via video-conferencing programmes such as Zoom, Microsoft Teams or Skype.
Councils had hoped to overturn the decision, however, the High Court ruled in the favour of the Department for Housing, Communities and Local Government on Thursday that meetings must resume taking place “in person”.

Lincoln leaders still hold out hope that Lincolnshire County Council will cave over future plans for the Usher Gallery and artefact collection.
City of Lincoln Council’s portfolio holder for economic growth and historic environment Labour Councillor Neil Murray told the authority’s full council he did not think plans to move the Usher collection to Nottingham would happen.
“I don’t think that would be reasonable,” he said, responding to questions from opposition leader Conservative Councillor Thomas Dyer.
“What would be reasonable is if we could reach an agreement with the county council to keep the Usher Art Gallery going as an art gallery, because, after all, it was left to us to Lincoln city council to run as an art gallery.
