    Fair call in my opinion.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    At first glance it looks like overkill on the councils' part, and could have been handled better. But then, she was on the verge of a public road, not at a school fete, or similar. And advertising on social media was probably not smart. Council had a complaint from some one on social media, so they had to do something. To their credit, council did say they would help the girl get set up correctly, if she wanted to do it again. I can't help thinking if the girl had set up outside her home, and just relied on word of mouth , it may have had a better outcome. Bob
    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

    I hope I don't have to strip out my kitchen and install a commercial kitchen to ensure I'm safe. I cant believe humans were able to survive up until now.

    Interestingly enough , I just watched a show on the hidden perils of Victorian period home. The arsenic and lead used in the pigments seems laughably logical today , but the conclusion summed up with the question of what is part of our daily life now is killing us ?

    Quite likely the Council didn't have much choice - very likely a nearby business complained...
