No worries rog. I'm no expert with this legal malarky, so anything i say re legal stuff, should be checked out with someone who deals with it. Ecigs being mistaken for real fags is understandable especially from a distance, but showing that it's an ecig, even demonstrating it for someone concerned should be more than enough to convince them it's an electronic device. If they insist on trying to issue a fine or even go as far as confiscating your gear, they are either too stupid to reason with, or their only concern is issuing as many fines as possible. Either way, go over their heads if you have to, but do NOT sign anything they put in front of you...there is NO legal requirement or compulsion for anyone to sign anything, none whatsoever, if you do sign, you ARE admitting/confirming your guilt and demonstrating acceptance (in a legal sense) of the fine, charge, or whatever. You do not have to give your name and / or address either. It is crazy stuff rob, and i reckon it's going to get crazier too. Spot on spikeychops. Acts are not Law's. If you sign something, you are entering a contract. All Acts rely on contract. The Polis are obliged to confirm this if you ask. Never give your name or any information, ask them what LAW you have broken and then ask them 'under what authority?' they are acting. The clue is in the word 'Act' as in it's all a game. Vape freely! |

The OH and I are heading for the West Country on Saturday, and apart from visiting with Chrissie and her world famous cats, we don't have anything planned. We have never been to the West Country, (been and resided everywhere else in the British Isles) so please can anyone help with non touristy things to see?? I once went 40 miles out of my way to have a pint at the Glynn arms in Dudley, (known as the crooked house, you didn't need any more than a pint to feel unsteady!) So quirky and unusual would be great! Any Ideas greatly appreciated  Glastonbury Tor is a favourite place of mine, as is the Chalice Gardens and well in Glastonbury, there is a nice bit of rugged beach at Kilve and a nice very secluded bit of coastline over at Stolford, near Hinkley Point power station! Good for a bit of pollack fishing when the tide is in. A wander up in the Quantocks always goes down well, as is a visit to Tarr Steps. If you want cider, any farm stores does either their own brand, or if you're lucky, then Rick's Cider Farm may be open. On the A39 out of Bridgewater heading to Minehead there are a load of farm stores. Minehead itself is good for a bit of tacky seaside social experiment people watching. I also recommend just having a mooch off the beaten track and go for a random drive down the country lanes. Just make sure you beep the horn as you head into a blind corner, as tractors tend not to move! Hope you have a good time! |

roachie, it might be worth doing some resarch into contract law. the unfair terms and contracts act will protect you against 3rd parties demanding money. simply request a copy of the mutually agreed contract that states you owe them said amount. you might find a contract does not exist, which leaves you scot free. how someone from a private company can threaten you on your doorstep is beyond me. look up 'implied rights of access' and make a sign to go on your door. that slows them down a bit. loads of data on the forum here: all the w's.tpuc.org in the meantime i have 10ml of mary jane juice that i dont want, its yours if you want to mix some menthol with it or something. if you get really desperate that is! chin up bud....  |
