you call me a saddo?
never had a drink EVER on the way to a match on a coach?
i think your just a bitter, obnoxious old man...
now... we've both sl **agged each other off.... sorted.
You've just thrown your teddy out because you got caught drinking Special Brew outside Teds MOT centre living the dream..
...........
and you said I make assumptions....
it was kestrel super actually
im off now... bye
Rebel, in your article, you state you were STANDING near a pub, you weren't in a minibus, you were standing in a public area with a can.
I assumed that was illegal. The wording of the offence does not really matter.
I knew you'd bite and return...
I can't decide if you're Sweep or Sooty...?
Moses, he's gonna move the goalposts the more he realises he's guilty....
Save yourself a few hours and read the one he'll send at midnight...

The Public Disorder Act includes the provision for local by-laws of which no alcohol zones are covered. They are always well sign[posted and it's pretty stupid to flaunt the laws.
Wecome to the 21st century. Manchester City centre has been a alcohol free zone for 15 years.
Mallorca, I agree with you regarding the drinking outside of pubs etc. I think your comments on the kids football are out of order.

I won't be apologising I'm afraid, regardless of how much I like, respect and enjoy our conversation...
Simply a joke playing on a previous article which you've joined in with... We are clearly poles apart on our views with that thread, so we'll have to more on and hope agreement meets us soon....
How dare the police fine you for breaking the law.
Do they KNOW who you are?

Two issues running at once, here.
The public drinking; the behaviour of the police.
If the law says don't drink in the street, and you drink in the street...you're struggling to find a leg on which to stand.
However, having had a similar experience with police behaviour, I can fully understand your frustration about the way you perceive you were treated.
Laws are laws, even if you don't agree. Crash helmets and seatbelts are two in particular that wind me up...but that's the way it goes. I know the law, so I wear both. (Sometimes at the same time.)
Having said all that...I still feel a bit uncomfortable that some posters will argue that black is white as soon as they see Trigger's name at the top of an article.
I don't know...maybe he enjoys it.
Based on the fact me and Trig have argued the same thing regarding Coyle all season and agreed,I know I'm in the clear with the above Miss Marple who done it!!!
Can see both sides here.
You did break the law, and theres no looking past that, but from the sound of things the police were out of order.
But thats the way it is - technically, although not causing any major problems or disruptions, you were in the wrong. The police are more than allowed to prosecute you for it, whereas some bobbys would just ask you to throw the can away.
A lot of police are bullies in uniform with a superiority complex and small man syndrome, don't get too aggravated over it (just in time, I know.)
"A lot of police are bullies in uniform with a superiority complex and small man syndrome, don't get too aggravated over it (just in time, I know.)"
These comments always amuse me... Assuming you're not a Kray or Soprano, what experience have you had with Police Officers to form this opinion?
I'm good friends with a Cop and these one liners always appear without substance...
Or are you a Soprano...?!

Soprano
I'm afraid I'm with Notlob on this one.
He didn't say 'all' coppers.
My cousin married one...sweet Jesus. He fits the bill of Trigger's mate perfectly.
And I haven't even started my story yet...
Hi guys,
Only just happened on this thread.
If we cool down a little, I feel the realisation that the police, IN GENERAL, will try to use common sense where INTERPRETATION of the law is called for.
If an individual, or a group of people , cause reason for the police to use their powers oe discretion, then said individuals have entered a kind of lottery, still weighted in their favour, but of course, you have the chance of things going against you.
You have the option of remaining squeeky clean at all times- you would then, indeed, be justified in feeling persicuted.
However, give the police the option of enforcing the law (which is what we all pay them for), you can put the outcome down to bad luck or bad judgement, but in the end, the police have to answerr to both the offended and the said perpitraitors.
There is no black and white, but it is up to us as individuals to stay the 'right ' side of the line.
This is noy a Pious viewpoint, I did some stupid things myself when much younger, sometimes getting away when I shouldn't, and other times getting unfairly treated for when innocent.
My lesson was to not get in compromising situations in the first place.
Anyhow, let's just aim to live our own lives as well as we can, life's precious and too short.
Oh. yes, I've had one or two over the odds!
Cheers guys,
HTF.

I am not a Kray or a Soprano, but funnily enough whilst the organised crime underworld is dormant in the North of England the police spend time dealing with smaller offenses.
I was mainly joking with that comment, but the point does stand that there are police 5 sizes too big for their boots.

Don't get me wrong though a lot of police are reasonable, but people like above, and who dealt with Trigger, show the rest of them up
I fought the law. And the law won.

great new change in the law...or another...
