I know of a couple of guys that used to do it (no longer with us) down here to put food on the table. It's not like Harratt is a few quid short of his next sandwich though is it? He apparently doesn't spend his money on booze, fast cars, fast women and squander the rest though either but he seems to be in with a strange crowd out in Ponty.

The comments of "the damage it does to the community" and a £1000 fine don't exactly square up do they? That he was found with dogs and lamps shouldn't be a surprise given his previous misdemeanour. I suppose this is the equivalent of suspected repeat burglars being found in possession of a certain type of tool kit. Not that almost all of us don't have the same tools if we ever do any DIY or help our friends and neighbours with theirs. We just (mainly) use them for a different purposes.

When's the next fox hunt (disguised as a ride in the country with the hounds) in North or rural West Yorkshire by the way? New Years Day by any chance?

Hmm. Wonder why it would have that design?
