Possibly the most expensive fag he has ever smoked; and the fine goes up to £75 if not paid within 10 days !
He was most indignant that he hadn't done anything wrong;so smokers and gum chewers beware, they are out to get you !  |
disagree entirely how can it be right when they have removed the bin, they provide litter bins for litter n if ya drop it fair enough, but to fine when there is no bins for fag-ends is just the thin end of the wedge- a way to make money, its ok non smokers preaching its ok but ITS NOT.
