Sir/Madam

Your report "Trams halted by balloons on power cable" cracked me up.

I imagined the balloons being taken down, being subjected to investigation by council officials without being told what rights they had in the process, and then being suspended from being balloons by Councillors for two weeks.

Ridiculous? Well, that's precisely what happened to the female taxi driver who popped into a take away food outlet to use the loo and blocked the trams.

Her taxi driver role was taken from her for two weeks; a substantial "fine" through loss of earnings, and when she wasn't even charged with a parking offence in the first place.

Not really funny, is it?

Regards

Jim Taylor
