Reply With QuoteBBC News - Man refused bus ride in Dorset over tin of fence paint
"The driver said to me, 'I'm sorry you can't come aboard because you are carrying a banned substance'.
"I said, 'It's a can of paint'. He said it was against regulations."
The driver clearly felt that by allowing this gentleman on the bus with the paint it would breach our Conditions of Carriage
Ed Wills, Yellow Buses
He added: "You see yobs on buses eff-ing and blinding and yet here I am, a pensioner, carrying some paint. It makes me feel like my human rights have been violated."
After being left at the roadside, Mr Wakley called a friend to take him to his home near Wareham.

I thought this was going to be the Daily Mail story about the one-time amputee who was walking around for five years after surgery before he realized he had two left feet.

The Chief Constable of Greater Manchester Police has criticised some of his officers for recording snowball throwing as "serious violent crime".
Peter Fahy said the officers concerned had failed to show any common sense.
During last month's cold spell, six snowball-throwing incidents were logged as serious violent crimes, although no-one was injured or arrested.

What is going on with the police in the UK? You have a woman who kills herself and her daughter because the police ignore her repeated cries for help after suffering at the hands of local yobs who made their lives hell. But then you have this where no one is injured and it's classed as a serious violent crime - they seriously need to get a grip!
