This is nothing new and has been an 'issue' for since Sept 2001.
So not quite sure who the 'idiot' is here.
If I had a family to feed from money earned in a job where there were some very clear rules that I had to abide by, I am not sure if I was willing to 'risk' that for the convenience of a 'hurrah henry'
Take it you have done something constructive about this saga by complaining about the rules at Blackpool to the people that made them?
