so if its illegal to leave an empty bin on the footpath, how many times a day do the refuse collectors break the law by not putting the bin back on the householders property??
Probably never, because, where the legislation is in place, it's illegal for the homeowner to leave the bin out, not the bin men.
Hi , not really ! But I do understand where you are coming from.
Agree but getting the law to enforce it is a different matter.
Some, I'm presuming students, just round the corner from us had a car on the road, with a bit of oil on the drive and an oil slick on the road. plus empty engine oil bottles scattered on the road around the front of the car. My working assumption being that they moved it on to the road because they might lose deposit for getting the drive wrecked. Reported it to the Country Council responsible for roads twice, several months later at the end of term (a few weeks ago) the car eventually left with the tennants. No one really gives a flying, it's pretty common.
You want to live where I do the place is heaving with the elderly using mobile scooters, sometime on the darn road & God forbid should you give them a discreet beep on your horn as you pass. Their immobility is suddenly lost as they vigorously give you the bird or two fingers. And believe me they expect priority on the pavement & in shops too so no chance if your parked car is in their way.
