$450 FINE FOR THE WRONG NO SMOKING SIGN. MOONBATS AT WORK

Well, I guess some Brits have proven that it isn’t just Americans who can be dumb.  And I very much doubt that any American authority would act in this way and plumb to this sort of stupidity.  But then, ya never know for certain in today’s pc world.

What do ya make of this?
Take a look.

Pub landlady hit with £300 fine for displaying homemade no-smoking signs
By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

A pub landlady who put up handwritten ‘No Smoking’ posters while waiting for official signs to arrive has been taken to court and ordered to pay nearly £300.

Inspectors who visited Dawn Lemm’s pub – the Judge and Jury in Colwyn Bay, North Wales – discovered she had violated regulations which decree that No Smoking signs must be rectangular with the shortest side at least 6.3in long.

Nor did her posters bear ‘a graphic representation of a burning cigarette enclosed in a red circle with a red bar which crosses the cigarette symbol’.

Miss Lemm, 39, was given a £150 fixed penalty which she declined to pay. At Llandudno magistrates court she admitted failing to ensure proper signs were displayed and was fined £150 with £120 costs and £15 victims’ surcharge.

Last night she called the decision ‘ridiculous’.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
