Litter is the individual person's responsibility.

Are you suggesting the firm trawl the town looking for their empties?

Perhaps some people think it is the car manufacturers who should be fined or imprisoned when a drunk driver kills a child.:rolleyes:

We are all equal before the law, and must take responsibilities for our own actions.

If she thinks she's grown up enough to smoke, she's old enough to face the consequences.

agree entirely, though think roys point about a warning in the first instance should be the norm, after that bounce em. its double standards fer me, warn a guy wi a bit of puff,etc yet do a smoker first time rubs me wrong way.

It should have nothing to do with person's age.

It's patronising to think those of a certain age need extra protection from the laws of the land.

There's been enough publicity about fines being given for dropping a cigarette.

I chose not to chance a fine, so I bin mine, or even pocket it...when I'm sure it's truly out.

Lol, not you.

Some other people are making out she was targeted because of her age, which somehow made her a soft target.

Which is both patronising and wrong.

I don't agree mate, I can't believe she does not know it is wrong to drop litter after 70 years.

In olden days a glimpse of stocking
Was looked on as something shocking,
But now, God knows,
Anything Goes.

am i right in thinking that means she isnt paying UK duty on that baccy?

Honestly she deserves the fine, everyone knows littering can result in a fine no matter what it is you dropped. By the sounds of it the police/wardens where easily visable in town that day so why take the risk? Its like seeing a speed camera and putting your foot down:rolleyes:.
