Tooled up, thieving cyclist sentenced to 20 months
At least he had Hi-vis clothing.
e was apprehended and as well as the 50 pence pieces he was carrying a screwdriver and a small curved tool. He had been planning to escape the scene on his bike, and was found with high visibility clothing and a bike clip. But Miss Charley Pattison, who was Weeks' defence said he had not brought the screwdriver with the intention of using it to burgle a property. She said: "He a cyclist and the small screwdriver was simply a tool he often has on him, as a cyclist." Yes, of course, nothing to do with breaking into property or fruit machines. "And when you consider the items he wanted to move, I think you can see the bike is not an appropriate getaway vehicle." or Non Viable Transport, perhaps we can move to NVT from now on. http://www.bristolpost.co.uk/Man-sen...#ixzz410AvwscM |

If so, that really is the slimiest, lowest of the low - cash meters for domestic fuel are the preserve of the poorest, after all. |

The search for the required shilling pieces in change was a constant refrain in working-class life, so much so that the thought of spending a one-shilling instead of taking it home to add to the stock reserved for the meter was unthinkable. Thank you for reminding me of that. I had almost forgotten it. That so few have those nowadays is a mark of the great economic progress we have seen in the UK, particularly throughout the fifties, the first half of the sixties and the eighties through into the nineties. And thank you for reminding everyone of that. Mind you, I have an idea that cash is no longer used much (if at all), and that meters are nowadays fed electronically, with credit bought in advance, which makes sense. |

And thank you for reminding everyone of that. You're very welcome. It does take a kind of twisted psyche to claim 'trickle down', whilst your fascist mates over on uk.politics.misc spend all their time frantically (and, it has to be said, hilariously) denying that the rightards ever claim 'trickle down'. But then... 'not all conservatives are stupid, but all stupid people are conservatives', as someone famously said. -- john smith |MA (Hons)|MPhil (Hons)|CAPES (mention très bien)|LLB (Hons) 'It never gets any easier.

As a consequence, there is no need for anyone as depraved as yourself to wish it upon you. Not that many people are as irredeemable as you. |
