Default Granny fined for crossing the road too slowly

Heard on Ken Bruce's show today (think it was that one) about an elderly lady fined for crossing a pelican crossing too slowly, something like an £85 fine?

If it is true, and if as reported that the policeman reported her, why was he not out helping her across the road rather than watch her struggle across? I didn't even know it was possible to fine people for such a thing.

TBH, thought this must be a 1st April story but as it was on today guess not. Anyone else hear about this?

Teach her to dawdle about, next time she'll be knocked down rather than a poxy fine. got off too lightly IMO

There is no offence of crossing too slowly..........

If it was an £80 fine then it would be for public order offences.

I won't. - At this rate of eating/drinking and living the good life I would be surprised if my heart, pancreas and liver see next Christmas ( - I said the C word )
If I do manage to get old, I'll have destroyed so many organs that they will just put the bits of me that still work in a bed and ignore me.....
