Next time ask them to call the police and see if they have a clue!

And I think this is the root of it.
Seemingly in this day and age, there are so many "bodies" that make rules and regulations as well as guidance and the average bloke on the street has no chance of knowing how to navigate it.
Just this week a read a case where a chap in our village is in a legal battle with the council - he placed a plastic bag (supermarket carrier bag) of rubbish from his car in the bin at a layby. I think he'd parked up for a bit, and decided to put a few bits of rubbish in his car into a bag and in the bin next to him. The council went through the bag, found letters with his address on it, and slapped him with a £400 fixed penalty for "illegally disposing of household waste". Apparently, it's illegal to deposit household waste in bins other then your dustbin.... How was he supposed to know that?
