Why are Utility and Engineering Companies allowed to tow machinery
on a trailer and they display NO number plate, or if they do, they
display another registration number on the trailer!
DOES NO AUTHORITIES CHECK SUCH THINGS, SUCH A JOKE!
COMPANIES SHOULD BE FINED HEAVILY
Why did the key break off my tin of sardines? This is an outrage!
If I had a £1 everytime I passed an idiot pulling a trailer along with a different
registration plate or no registration plate, I would be a rich man.
The Island is totally lawless when it comes to Road / Traffic rules.
Would be nice if Island Echo could send a photographer along to the courts to get pictures of these miscreants. Then publish the pictures with the crime reports. Be great if we could put a face to a name.
You seriously need to get a life.
Since moving here from a particularly hard area outside London, Notorious for dealing with its own business in a savage beating. I can’t help but feel the Island could really do with the same mob mentality because the oldy worldy feel has well and truly gone! The amount of nasties being let out of HMP then rehoused here is clearly one of the factors not to mention the pitiful penalty for drink,drug driving charges. I feel like I live in a Friday the 13th butlins edition! It’s absolutely diabolical that people are being stabbed, shot, beaten up and mugged and the charges handed down are from fairytales. The Island belong to the calm,kind and considerate people who can live in harmony with their neighbours and strangers.
