As regards people doing a lot worse and getting away with it. We know that. That is a totally different issue.

A law is a law for everyone, not just people who don't draw pensions.

Hear hear.

It isn't a defence to say 'but I'm only a poor pensioner'.

Don't drop fags then.

All we get from you are snide comments....why not come up with something constructive? do you agree that a caution should be written into the bye-law?

Re: Cig End Fine at 70

I think most folk on here are more annoyed at her "poor me" attitude and writing to the Press about it than the actual offence, that's how I feel anyway, if I knew I had broken the law I certainly wouldn't be bleating to the local rag about it!

Re: Cig End Fine at 70

So what have you said constructive then Roy? Have a go at every one else coz they don't agree with you? calling them snide, telling them they have lost the plot...

Maybe there should be a caution written into the By law,just maybe.... but NOT just for pensioners!! don't ya get it!!

What's the need for that? :confused:

No-one else has ever said that, probably because it's not true. :p

I simply said, along with others, that she committed the crime and deserved the fine. What's snide about that? :confused:

The Altzheimers symptoms I mentioned at post #32 may well apply to some members here ;)

Re: Cig End Fine at 70

That's just how he is I suppose Lilly. Maybe coz he's losing the arguement :confused:

Other people have differing opinions, there must be something wrong with em!
