I was so pleased to read that magistrates agreed with Waltham Forest Council that 'spitting in the street was a prosecutable offence. GOOD.

2 men had taken the case to court in a test case and obviously lost. They were made to pay £300 each, including doubling their original fine of £80 for an on-the-spot fine. I wonder who backed them or did they pay out of their own pockets?

What ever. I hope more people would be fined, I ABSOLUTELY DETEST SPITTING IN THE STREET. angry

Don't get me started on the lack of facilities for 'ladies' at theatres, golf clubs, the NEC, etc..
When I last went to a Quilting Show at the NEC (only the odd man to be seen) we got so peed off at the long queue at the Ladies and no one using the Gentlemens that all us woman took over that facility as well.

I've done that too, Aka. Though I did have to admire the man who just marched into the gents after a group of girls had gone in, instead of hanging round till they were done. Cue girly squealing a few seconds later and him walking out saying if they wanted to use the men's toilets they'd have to get used to a man peeing.
