Wonder if anyone else has heard about this and if so what can be done
about it....

I've already heard of a case of a pile of manure being removed from outside
an allotment site by the local Council because it was delivered on a Friday
and the gardeners intended to move it on Saturday, 24 hours later. They'll
be putting nappies on birds and insects next.

Yes of course. Because it is extremely likely that a local authority,
anywhere, would act on something like this within...well, let's see - a
working day, so call it 8 hours.

Yeah, right.


We should do what the French would do...nothing. Just ignore any rules that
they think don't apply to them, especially when it affects things they have
done for generations.

But the people we employ to run our country will see it as a golden
opportunity to obtain more money by the issue of licences, also an
opportunity for more control.
