What injured parties? People have picked wild berries for generations. Now suddenly it's a crime? So who is going to sue? The birds?
true chav but be fair,that dont make "good news" or "sell papers".
The security guard (at a nearby building) not minding his own business, has now got Mr Blayney a criminal record. Try getting a police officer to respond to a burglary, the latest add on television is "if you suffer a break in don't dial 999 there are other numbers you can dial" WHAT!
u serious lol
serioulsy i dont watch mutch tv so havnt seen the advert , who you supposed to dial then
GHOSTBUSTERS ?
I don't think they consider burglary an emergency any more, it's just a case of putting in a report for your insurance purposes some times this occurs two days later. If you get really lucky and one of them is studying for a crime scene investigators job they come 'mob' handed. Motor accidents are the same "is there anyone hurt" no "get in touch with your insurance then bye bye"
If you've had a break-in you are supposed to phone the local police station.
That newspaper article doesn't say anythng about tresspassing. It says the berries were growing wild. Were they cultivated trees, jam for the use of? Did the trees belong to someone? Were the ramblers on private land?

just reminded me of my conversation with the police only the other week
while driving my car my mobile rang , i glanced down at it and saw that it was my home phone dialing me
i immidiatly pulled over and rang the police and informed them that seen as i lived alone there must be somone in my house and told them that i was on my way to investigate and could they have someone there to meet me as i thought maybe i had a burgular
the police informed me that it wasnt a police matter so i asked what had i to do if i get in my house and find myself getting the crap kicked out of me by a couple of burgulars and apparently then it will be a police matter and i should ring them back
luckily my neighbour across the road was more helpful than the police and grabbed a baseball bat and checked my house out with me , luckily there was no burgulars and it was just my phoneline or phone messing up but it could just have easily been a burgular accidently dialing my mobile when stealing the cordless phone set i have
if i hadnt had had the missed call on my mobile no one woulda believed me lol but i thought the polices attitude stank because if there had have been a burgular he woulda gotten a baseball bat around the head and a damn good beating probably resulting in 2 innocent people getting in trouble rather than a theif

Yes, saw the news report last night and they did climb over a barbed wire fence to get to the berries. Obvious was private land and they shouldn't have done it. They did seem a lovely couple, however, was only polite to go and ask the owner if they could have some of these berries. He stated, if they had, they could have picked as many as they wished officially.
He really couldn't let it go as may have been followed by many others. Like Chav says, you wouldn't wish people to trample through your garden to pick the strawberries you were growing there, would you ?
I think a warning was fair justice.
So in fact the story about them being wild was actually incorrect? They did belong to someone.
Yes they did, they were in a private nature reserve. This couple ignored warning signs, and barbed wire fences, and even the owner to get to the fruit.
Stealing is stealing.
If it was some hooded chav, who had stole the jam from a shop, people would be calling for the return of the birch.
It wasn't the owner who went to the press with story, it was the theivin' couple from Gloucestershire, who came north on the rob.
They were interviewed with over ten jars of the jelly they'd made from the nicked fruit. They would have been better hanging their heads in shame, instead of bleating about injustice.
Apparently they went armed with sissors, which have damaged the trees, because the fruit should be picked by hand.
