Saw on the news this morning "Woman fined for pouring coffee down a street drain"

If you didn't see it, she had a cup of coffee in her hand and as her bus approached she poured what little coffee she had heft in the cup down a gully drain and started to run for the bus and was stopped by 3 enforcement officers and they fined her saying what she did was an offence under section 33 of the environment protection act.

Now I could understand their reasoning if she was emptying say an oil drum full of the stuff but it was less than half a cup full, which would have instantly disappeared when it hit the gallons of water in the drain. Of course there's the old argument "Yes but what if everyone did it"?

I defy anyone to tell me coffee would seriously damage or pollute our waterways when water companies are dumping heaven knows what into our rivers and streams.

I believe it was a couple of weeks ago in the letters page of the D.T. someone was berating C.C. on the extortionate car parking charges in the town.

Last week's D.T. contained a response from C.C. obviously in answer to this letter, their response can be summed up in a few words:-

"Sod what you lot think we'll do it our way"

Didn't I read his head grew so big it exploded   

"Emma Raducanu retires  from Wuhan open due to illness"

Says it all doesn't it..............

He's like Marmite you either love him or loathe him, the wife can't stand him I on the other hand think his shows were very good....until now!

I eagerly awaited his new series, taped the first episode so I could watch it on my own. I started watching it yesterday and turned off after 20 minutes mainly due to the fact it was cr*p.

It's the same no matter what I watch if it hasn't grabbed my attention in the first 15/20 minutes I switch off.
