Thursday morning before I set of on "holiday" the guy I sub for

The apprentice denied everything and there was a lot of shouting and
swearing and the apprentice said that "he had never smoked in a
works van". The words "You are ****ing lying tell me the truth" were
shouted
and the apprentice said "I promise you I have never smoked in your
van" At which point the owner of the firm handed the apprentice the £75
fixed penatly notice (that claims to have photographic evidence) of
the apprentice throwing a tab end out of the window of a van he was
driving.

Is this a fixed penalty notice for littering, issued by a Local
Authority? If so, it needs to be paid on time or he will face a
criminal prosecution. It also seems to me that the employer should
have been discussing littering, rather than smoking, which the
apprentice might well have admitted to.




Throwing a butt out of the
window is no evidence that he had been smoking in the van, rather
than, say, having found it on the floor.

What a load of crap.
