RE: Open All Hours - 171

Well lads and lassies, Lu Lu's was nothing more exciting than a high class hat shop in London.
Just got back from doing the job, now have another bigger job for, funnily enough another hat shop, but this time a very high class shirt, hat, and hosiers in Jermyn St. London.
No rest for the wicked.

That woman that put the cat in a wheelie bin has just been fined £250, with £ 1,171 costs, that'll hit her where it hurts most.

Yes John I agree, but there are a lot more serious cases that never get to court because the RSPCA don't think there is enough publicity involved.

Since how long has this £15 victim surcharge been operative.

Have no idea what it means really

Denise I think it's a charge to help victims of crime, but if they ever get it or how it is aportioned out I do not know.

Re the fleet inn...made me sad to see the adverts but sure it will open again.

I think each person convicted and then fined is charged a fixed surcharge of £15. The official explanation of what happens to it is this. "It will be paid into a fund aimed at helping improve services for victims of crime, and will be fixed at a flat rate regardless of the size of the fine." In plain English most of it will go in salaries for those managing and running the fund.
