Partially in response to Incog....I appreciate your point of view. Of course making laws and enforcing them are two different matters. There are lots of laws which are not enforced. Sometimes this is due to manpower shortages,economic or political reasons or that the crime is not detected.

You ask if i report stuff. Well yes i do. But the thin blue line is very thin and low priority stuff often gets a delayed or no response.

Last year i wrote to the General Manager of Stagecoach buses to make enquiries about my enforced inhalation of illegal narcotics on his vehicles. His response was that whilst he appreciated my predicament,enforcement was down to his driver. Thats the guy whos sat all on his own with a bus to drive and tickets to sell. So thats not going to happen and i dont blame him.

Effectively,and for the most part,if you make a 999 call in this country you will only get an immediate response if there is a clear and present danger to life and property.

Are the alcohol consumtion bans criminal law or local authority byelaw? Who will enforce them? Some poor conductor or ticket collector who will receive a broken jaw for his impertinence?

As i say, far better that these things were handled by the common moral code...but then we don't have one any more.
