It is my opinion that most of these so called fines, which aren't actually fines at all, are merely stealth taxes......Every organisation is short of funds so they look for the smallest thing on which to attach a tax(fine)Tonk.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377446.post-18745127687740904472011-10-25T11:25:24.996+01:002011-10-25T11:25:24.996+01:00can't believe this

In the real world though, we know this idea is wrong. Value for money is far more important and Nanny is not good at getting value for money in fact, two scenes come to mind when thinking about Nanny and money;-<br />1) The drunken sailor that has just got paid and is on shore leave.<br />2) The giddy aunt at a wedding with a box of confetti.<br /><br />Nanny could save a fortune by reducing her Hi-Viz budget.Tonk.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377446.post-22270717314513248392011-10-25T10:54:56.423+01:002011-10-25T10:54:56.423+01:00Isn’t there a law against the misuse of public fun...Isn’t there a law against the misuse of public funds?<br /><br />If not, there should be.<br /><br />How these councils can complain about cuts while spending money in such a way is appalling.<br /><br />How the council workers can stand holding their placards in protest, while knowing that their ‘organization’ is wasting money like this is astonishing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
