Council workers, not policemen.
OK sorry my thinking was an enforcment officer was a cop. Either way I think its a joke and and thats just a waste of resource

The problem with common sense is that it isn't very common.
Tell me about it, some of the Albion's senior management could do with a common sense injection.
Scum, sub human scum.
I despair sometimes.
Indeed. Just look at the state of the club these days.
Buffoons, the lot of them.
What sort of parent would let a five year old set up a stall for perfect strangers,surely he could think of something else to do with his daughter,was it her idea really? People will spend most of their adult lives chasing the mighty buck,just let them play at 5
so what? I'd encourage my daughter to be entrepreneurial too.

Why do you take that i said they were incapable, i just said common sense from some could be applied in simple situations.
Perhaps your just looking at one-upmanship.
I took that you said they're incapable, because you stated that the senior management at BHAFC needed an injection of common sense. That suggests you feel that they are incapable in some way.
Can give an example where you think some common sense needed to be injected ?
Let's put it another way.
Man decides he will try and make some money by setting up a street stall on the main route to a festival selling some homemade stuff. He doesn't have a license to trade but thinks he'll do it anyway. He takes along his 5-year old daughter as an aid to selling (much like street beggars use a dog to appeal more - or possibly as a way to earn brownie points with the missus, it doesn't really matter).
When the enforcement officers ask for his trading license, he hasn't got one. So he is given a ticket and subject to a fine as would have any other unlicensed traders cashing in on the festival traffic.
His daughter would not have been given the fine, far far too young. He then decides to contact a paper who subsequently sensationalise it claiming a 5-year old has been fined, and miraculously the fine goes away. RESULT.
I think you know what i am getting at, but i am not getting deep into that one again.
Lets just say going that extra mile to help rather than piss off their customers and hence lose their business hundreds of pounds revenue for the sake of a fiver.
I call that common sense.
so what? I'd encourage my daughter to be entrepreneurial too.
Maybe. The phrase "My daughter loved the idea" means that it came from him. No it doesn't.My children have lots of ideas that they love
My main discomfort is that, as the parent of a 5 year old, I would have accepted my own error of judgement early doors with the police, the council and particularly the press.
