Another problem is that today's police are "too busy" i.e not interested in tackling real criminals, preferring to deal with petty matters and victimise law abiding citizens who have the timerity to attempt to deal with the matter themselves. (Then the police wonder why the public in general no longer have the respect for them they once had).<br /><br /> Black Sea said... (in response to Ken's observation that he lives in Brighton and wonders what Norwich City Council would say about the humongous number of pebbles on his beach:<br />"No doubt the beaches would be closed as an obvious threat to health and safety. In addition to the pebbles, there's the sea to contend with. Too frightening for words!"<br />and Anonymous said... <br />"Nanny must appoint an EU approved pebble safety inspector.

And yet they managed to find around £1M to waste on a bid for "Unitary Status"<br /><br />Typical, but what would you expect? They have to get their priorities right, and their priorities are not those of their plebs, er, sorry, council tax payers.<br /> Disgusted, Tunbridge Wells said... <br />"Tonk. said...<br />Rather than removing pebbles so that vandals cannot throw them, why not remove the vandals so that the pebbles won't be thrown?"<br /><br />'We could always corral the vandals and throw pebbles at them.
