Been reading with interest and couldn't resist adding a few more....

Any boy under the age of 10 may not see a naked manequin

A license is required to keep a lunatic

It is illegal to be a drunk in possession of a cow

It is legal for a male to urinate in public, as long it is on the rear wheel of his motor vehicle and his right hand is on the vehicle.

London Hackney Carriages (taxis/cabs) must carry a bale of hay and a sack of oats

Women are permitted to go topless in Liverpool provided they work as a clerk in a shop selling tropical fish

Any person found breaking a boiled egg at the sharp end may be sentenced to 24 hours in the stocks

A pregnant woman may relieve herself anywhere she likes, including in a policeman's helmet

I've just read this thread, and I must say that I can hardly believe that this is the same country I grew up in.

Having to go to court for having your feet on a train chair!!????

What a really poor excuse for a police officer that was. No wonder they have no public respect in this country any more.

What a complete waste of time (yours, your sons, the courts) and money.

The country really has gone mad. I can't believe it.

This is the real cause of people not having any respect for the police/authorities.

How can anyone respect someone who forces that sort of issue through the courts - and even then, when all is done and dusted and they've got their 30 quid, they continue to harrass you or your son (probably through a cockup of some sort).

The state of the nation isn't to do with bad parenting or bad schools (although I agree, to a certain degree that those will have an effect) - it's to do with complete lack of respect for authority (not fear, respect).

Constantly being told what to do, and how to do it by an incompetent government and fined for not obeying them. Then fined and dragged through courts for something like this!

You try and get the people who NEED to go to court (banking cartels spring to ming) and you have to wait years and start a consumer revolution to get it to happen.

I think someone has punched a big hole in the centre of the UK and we're slowly sinking.

/rant.

Wow Dave! Very True! That is exactly the problem now - its all gone too far .....
- last weekend a friend was collecting my Daughter and was having a small natter in my hall the door 1/2 open - when she got out the "parking ambasadors" as we call them in Salisbury (well I actually call them another unprintable name!!) gave my friend a parking ticket that pointed out that she was in a parking permit zone and on a yellow line....well you can park outside our house for up to 2 hrs and as for the yellow line it wore out months ago and there is NO YELLOW LINE! But she paid the fine immediately! she must be MAD!

We also got a ticket for parking across our own gates the weekend before it was 0910 on a Saturday morning! At the moment they are patrolling our quiet road all day, every day, and on that Saturday were going at it two at a time one on each side of the road!
Not very long ago they would have knocked on our door and said you had better move - but now they are intent on enforcing the law - or is that collecting the revenue? -
BUT when the yob kids near by kicked a hole in our fence and I took a photo of them , and the shop nearby had a good picture of the kids on their cctv we were told it was not in the public interest to prosecute them!!!!
BUT obviously criminal types like Pens' son really do need to be taught a lesson! That is in the public interest as they make £30 out of him/Pen.
It makes me MAD Keep thinking of moving abroad to try and find life like it was a few years ago when we were a free country.....

WTF your friend got a parking ticket for parking in a permit zone on invisable yellow lines.

I would appeal that ticket as the yellow lines dont exist. Someone must love there job.

Why did you get a ticket for parking across your own gates. Was the ticket for obstruction?
You cant obstruct your own property can you

But she paid the fine immediately! she must be MAD! If the markings are not clear, then without going into tooo much detail here, the case of Davis and Heatley in the high court ruled that the markings must be clear, if they are not then there should not be a penalty charge

further more if you can produce proof that the lines do not comply with the TSRGD 2002 you may be able to push the council to reimburse you under the ruling in the case of Woolwich equitable building society -V - inland revenue as this case sets out where a fine is paid where there is no basis in law to enforce it then you are entitled to restitution
