Because it is nearly Christmas may we have a Turkey Of The Year award?

My nominations go jointly to the police and the Government for their stance against driving while using mobile phones - the Government for not fining enough, the police for not enforcing (I see at least five offenders a day) the law.

Second nomination: the council for its litter squad. Again, fines are not enough and there is inactivity on the officers' part (streets are still awash with litter in the suburbs).

A final nomination goes to Northern Electric for quoting three months to get my street light working after it had been reported to the council.

Any more turkey awards?
