Oh, I accept that the bureacratic mind has nothing to do with
rocket science. Rocket science is considerably less complicated.

If you don't understand administrative law (nothing necessarily
anything to be ashamed of), the best advice is: don't try to comment
on it.

Have you ever seen anything of mine that attempts to inform or explain
an issue of human manufactured law?

If most people don't understand the way of the bureaucrat, anybody
can damn well comment on it.


The bureaucrat does not make the law. He administers it.


The one that makes the law is a mortal person out of the same mould. You
may wish to separate the function but I choose not to.


I'm afraid you *have* to.

Legislature and executive are two different things.

Having made use of legal services over the years (employment, property,
bereavement), one is always left with the feeling that the law's primary
objectives are a) a job creation scheme and b) to make simple things
difficult. And I really cannot believe that in this day and age, with
all modern identity checks and so on, it is necessary to swear an oath
to get probate; it's pure, unnecessary theatre.


What's the difficulty with it?

If you have a problem with the law (as many cyclists clearly do), your
only recourse is your MP.


That depends on whether the argument is actually to do with the law or
your interpretation of it - with the bile.


There is usually a right of appeal if you disagree with a decision of
the executive.

The only part too narrow is between the pump and the lamppost. Any
sensible council worker (like there any!) would just tell them to move
the pump round the other side.


It is NOT really the pump that is the problem. It is a private company
using public space as shop space without paying for it ,that is the
problem.

The problem is the typical Gestapo approach by most council workers
and the general lack of common sense that they show.

That's a mighty big tar brush you got there.

Councils in general are notorious for their incompetence and lack of
common sense.

eg; Three times over the last five of years they've altered a local
roundabout here that has cost hundreds of thousands and caused chaos on
the roads, only for them to put it back to what the original layout was.
I could post many more of their cock ups.

In many states fuel stations are required by law to turn on the
vehicle air compressor for cyclists. For free.

Is this the case anywhere in the UK?


No.

Filling stations are not even required to provide free air for real
customers.


When I go into a filling station I'll spend about £40 and pay to top up the
pressure in my tyres if required.
A sponging poverty cyclist may spend 60p on a bottle of water and whine
about the price.

I spend €0.0 to fill my bottle of water from a tap.

Thus, you are correct, cyclists are not real customers.

Default Birdbrain Macaw (now "James Wilkinson" LOL), the Sociopathic Attention Whore

On Fri, 04 Aug 2017 10:44:53 +0100, Birdbrain Macaw (now "James Wilkinson"),
the pathological attention whore of all the uk ngs, blathered again:

SNAP! Traffic lights converted to roundabout converted back to traffic
lights, then traffic lights altered after everybody crashed into each
other (they screwed them up and had people turning right across traffic
with green both ways!)


It's all because of the councils having to cope with idiots like you out
there! That's all to it!

More of Birdbrain Macaw's (now "James Wilkinson" LOL) sociopathic
"mathematics":
"If I say 1, then "or so", the "or so" means another 1.
If I say 5, then "or so", the "or so" means up to another 5.
Is English not your first language?"

Isn't it also the councils that pay your welfare checks, you incapacitated

making!
