"The World is Going Potty With Petty Officaldom"

[Andara Bledin]

We have two tales brought to you from the UK...

First, we have the tale of a teenager fined for releasing a helium balloon at a charity event.

After that, we have a woman threatened with a fine for posting "Cat Found" posters near her residence. The good news is that the local media coverage led to the return of the kitty to its owner.

Either the British authorities have way too much time on their hands, or they've become outright anal-retentive. Either way, I think these articles will get enough press that the authorities will regret their decisions.

There's a thread currently running on Fratching to discuss these very things, so I'm closing this one and the discussion can move there. Thank you.
