No more Mr Whippy ?


Reading the newspaper today at work I began to think this country has gone crazy.

First of all a mother got fined £75 when her toddler daughter dropped a piece of sausage roll she was eating. She was given the instant fine for littering, seconds before a pidgeon scooped it up.

Secondly a village didn't get it's post for a week because of a 3 inch pothole in the road... however they managed to deliver letters telling them this was the case...

Then a Policeman refuses to pose on a bicycle for a publicity photo because he has not passed the required cycling proficiency test.

And sadly in Worcestershire Ice-cream vans can now only play their jingle for 4 seconds every three minutes while in Sheffield, Liverpool and Manchester the vans are excluded from parking near schools, playgrounds and parks.

Who is making these laws/rules ? have they got nothing better to do ?

Todays photo is another quirky sculpture from the centre of Salzburg. The writing translates as 'forgive me for all my sins'
