Why would you change shirts just to move 10 feet away and hold a bird?
maybe the bird pooped on him

Why would you get fined for not producing any waste?
The world doesn't make sense dealw/itnerd
I just noticed his banner says "we have a range of bike is starting from".
:downs:
His face is darker then his body because hes in a shadow, look at the ground.

"We have a range of bike's starting from £3-"
:downs:
Edit: Oh right the apostrophe makes it "bike is". I'm dumb.

I wonder how long we can keep this chain of puns going

Haha, yeah, well at least we have shopkeepers actually doing their bit for the environment.
I see Obama is eying up those bikes.
He should shit in those bags and send them to the council

I don't know about you, but I'm beginning to tyre of them, and although I was going to say we ran out, I guess I spoke too soon. Good thing I can handle this amount of puns, and wait for the cycle to end, although it grinds my gears.

I think we should take a brake from the puns.
Stupid Government at their best again I see?

Damn, I knew I missed something.

It's a fill-flash. The press photographer chose to shoot in the sun so the background was bright, had to compensate by using a flash to stop the shop owner from being a silhouette in the photo. Makes stuff look 2D and photoshopped.
Also, if the council really did fine him for that, fucking pencil-pushers. This is the sort of stuff that my father, who manages waste disposal/recycling etc. for Wales, has to put up with all the time. Town councils try to be green but completely miss the fucking point and just make things worse for the people who didn't do a half-assed job.
He should say "No taxation without representation" and start a revolution, declaring his bike-shop a seperate country.
He eats the rubbish. Only other possible way.

What the fuck? Fired for being environmentally conscious?

This is the most ridiculous thing one of the British councils have done in a long while. This shop keeper should be commended for his efforts to recycling and other businesses should take a lesson from his book.

more and more shit like this is going on in the world, it's slowly digressing from somewhat-intelligent to becoming dulled down and uncaring
[quote]A UK bicycle shop owner was fined £180 (USD $300) because Bellend Council officers refused to believe that his store did not create any commercial waste.[/quote]
fixed
:wtc:
What the fuck? I would take it to court, the dumbasses that fined him know that he didn't do anything. If he wanted to he could just ask the judge to send an agent to watch his store as proof that he doesn't waste shit.

America has plenty of them too, the government just doesn't decide to be a dickhead and fine them for it.
