outrageous

 

But you can steal everything a working man owns, rape a granny, stab some one whilst on smack. £100 fine and you get 20 hours community service in an old folks home !!!!

 

country is in a mental state.

 

Now come on?! Smack heads can't help it they earn **** all so the courts have to go for the earners. Come the revolution...

 

Any how I would love to hear how the figure was plucked from the air?

The link doesn't appear to give any indication of the company turnover / profit or personal wealth of the individuals involved - or indeed, how much they profited from an illegal operation. Without that it's impossible to make a judgement call as to wether it was a heavy fine or not.

 

The rules is the rules - that's democracy!

 

That company were either ignorant of the rules or choose to ignore them. They got caught, they got fined.

 

Part of the problem with democracy is you don't get to choose which rules you want to abide by.

 

It's not difficult (nor particularly expensive) to get the correct permits, registrations and exemptions.

 

We're all victims of our own poor choices

"Here, here Kevin"...sounds like you're now ideally placed to present for ARB Approval

 

Better be quick tho if you want to be the first (real) Cornwallian ArbAC

 

Cheers..

Keep going Paul!

 

It's still on the horizon although probably more of a personal achievement goal rather than a business one. I'll explain why that's relevant maybe if you're at that safety day?? Thanks for the updated booking link, I did PM a TY but your inbox was full so not sure if it came through.

 

Back to this thread, I got to thinking, with all the "chip site needed XX location" threads, are people generally aware of the need to be registered as a waste carrier and completing waste transfer tickets for all these chip loads? I dare say the AA approved outfits are.

 

Just a heads up - there was a purge of spot checks locally from a combined VOSA/Police/EA team. Pick-ups and tippers full of brash and chip were key targets!!

[fagus]

The fine is likely to have taken into account the amount they saved carrying out illegal activity.

 

A heads up that arborist is spelt wrongly on your website.
