it's been a hedge cutting week. So as it's no good for composting it is a trip to the tip with my trailer which now has a proper number plate all the lights working and a new set of tyres. Reports coming from other trailer owners was that the police were outside of the tip checking and handing out penalties for unfit trailers. I know some of the trailers I have seen leave a lot to be desired, but a penalty for a broken bulb is taking it to far. Especially when the farmers hay carts that trundle around look like a load of old kipper boxes nailed together and they get away with it.
The reports in the local paper say there are not enough police to go around, seems we have a few spare ones here.
