jennywren Feb 2021 11:34am, 1 Feb 2021 16,307 posts	0 jennywren Haha you had me worried there! Bananas eh? I think I’ve eaten a few more of those than usual come to think of it! How odd. I did notice I seemed to be extra hungry for a few days after the jab actually, didn’t associate the two things though.

HappyG(rrr) Feb 2021 11:40am, 1 Feb 2021 37,409 posts	0 HappyG(rrr) ANyone think the fines should be a proportion of your income? 30 or 60 quid is nothing to someone on 50K or 100K a year. But to someone on min wage it's a lot more. Is there a case to make that some entitled people are choosing to risk breaking regs because it's "only" 30 quid?

HappyG(rrr) Feb 2021 11:55am, 1 Feb 2021 37,415 posts	0 HappyG(rrr) It's irrelevant whether the judged the risk as low, as they crossed authority boundaries + greater than 5 miles, so breaking regs. Even if local to Ben Nevis, I'd say poor decision making, but it's a hard one. I justified skiing on local hills and running in snow and ice on local hills on the basis that we weren't going far, or high. But it only takes a broken bone or other acute injury to make it look like you were stupid. Having said that, I'd rather have dragged myself bac to car and into A&E with a break than call out MRS in our local hills, just 2 or 3 miles from car park!
