50 pound fine for British boy who fed seagull
A schoolboy has been given a 50 pound littering fine - for feeding half a chip to a seagull. Jack Double, 14, was handed the on-the-spot fixed penalty by two council litter enforcement officers.
He said: 'I was walking along with a bag of chips on my lunch break when I bit into one and found it was really hard. 'The other half was green so I just threw it to a seagull.'
Jack refused to give his name to the officers but they followed him back to Chantry High School in Ipswich where staff identified him.
His mother Mandy has written to Ipswich Council to appeal against the fine, describing it as ridiculous. Three weeks earlier Jack was awarded a certificate by an enforcement officer in the same area, commending him for putting his rubbish in a bin.

Something Our Garbage&*^%$## Can Strive For
We have the Chairman Of The Works Department out opening garbage bags and threatening to impose fines for improper sorting and he would probably give these Ipswich officers the keys to the city.
