WELLINGTON BOOTS

Today I'm returning to Chichester District Council where "the man in the street" is off limits. Within their little kingdom was a metal bin which fell into a stream (4 inces deep) and rubbish started to pour out. The vice-chairman, David Barnard, of Harting parish council rang the department at Chichester DC which dealt with fly-tipping. He was told they could do nothing as they had no-one "qualified to wear wellington boots". In the end the men of Harting PC did the job themselves. I didn't know it was possible to get a qualification in wellington boot wearing. Do shoe shops now ask for the diploma when you buy a pair or does the rule only apply to council/government workers.
