HAVING just read last week's Times a couple of unrelated items have pointed to some interesting contradictions on what is seemingly acceptable these days.

A man was warned by the police for stealing chippings from a council pile to lay a path.

On Wednesday, anyone not wearing a rear seat-belt will be criminalised and given an on-the-spot fine.

Funny old world, isn't it?
