to think pregnant Mums who are fined for dropping fag ends should not go complaining to the local paper about their unfair treatment?

Yes, I know that smoking is an addiction and some people find it really hard to give up but this woman in our local paper seems to think she has been treated so unfairly.

She was fined for dropping a cigarette end on the floor. She claims she only dropped it temporarily with her bags so she could attend to her 3 year old daughter.

She couldn't bend down to pick it up as she was heavily pregnant with a cracked pelvis so she asked the 3 year old to pick it up for her!!!!! She was then pounced on by a council official.

If this was a posting on Mumsnet I would think troll. Are some people for real.

Thats about as gobsmacking as the time I overheard a heavily pg woman telling her mate she was missing eating angel delight ,but wouldn't touch it as it was bad for the baby all this was said while she was puffing away on a fag .

Am impressed with those 'council officials'. If they fine someone for dropping a dog end, they must bring out the firing squad for fly tippers. Marvellous entertainment.

Did they show a picture??? Astounding.

Could she not have discreetly disposed of her fag but in an empty froot shoot bottle?

Yes the picture looks a bit (cough) well a certain type of person, you know.

Ooooh, I'm so outraged!

Andrea.

Link please!!!!

pmsl! Some people really do think the world owes them a favour don't they

The pic in the paper is much bigger than theone online

The comments added by people on the website are hilarious, especially the one about her being named after a deodorant.

And we all thought the argy bargy on MN could get out of hand? The comments on the website don't pull their punches, do they?

Haha. Twas a fine article, .

"dirty trout"

I make a point of putting mine carefully in trash bins full of dry paper. I am good like that and wouldn't want to upset people.

PMSL

comments are great

rofl at the comments after the story

she sounds like quite a catch, wish I was male

from that picture all i can say is...

CHAV!

5 cigarettes a day? My arse!

It actually reads like a spoof, doesn't it?

The mispelt name, the cigarettes, her mother's age.

i can't get the tune of that dodgy deoderant commercial out of my head.
dodgy cartoon and some women wailing limara at the top of her voice
i think she went on to do the whooaa bodyform commercial after
is that limara's sister

She's so gorgeous someone even named a body spray after her

LIMARA

That's the funniest thing I've read for years

oh my goodness, I thought this was a joke but the article is spectacular...

Is it me, or does the woman in the picture look like Waynetta Slob from Harry Enfield?

'I'm smoking a faaaaaggg'

I don't know what's worse, he smoking while pregnant, or asking her little girl to pic the nub end up for her?? Oh dear lord, what is the world coming to?

I expected the date of the article to say April 1st.

Unbelievable
