Burger van busted offering free takeaway porn

Driffield? Late night bars and clubs?

Firstly Driffield has late night bars and clubs?

Secondly was the reason the DVD's were so popular down to the fact that they depicted the unusual sight (for Driffield) of people who aren't blood relatives indulging in sexual congress?

And finally was the lookout a bald bloke with a banjo?

Don't require payment - not that tight-fisted."

well if you are too tight , it would chaff lol

Re: Outrage

The porn is just a side-show. They were selling booze without a license, that's probably enough to convict them. Selling food without a license isn't going to help either. Copyright violation and distributing porn to minors is almost entirely irrelevant after that; enough with the outrage and 'won't someone think about the people who are thinking about the children?' hysteria.

Lowering Crime Stats

If it causes the UFE of today to go home, combat brewers droop and fall asleep, then surely that must be better than roaming the streets looking for a fight or an easy target...

As the old saying goes, a w@nk a day keeps the rapist tendecies away.

driffield

....is just 2 minutes away from me and dam I never heard about this :)

No sex please, we're British

I thought i was in a movie remake for a moment there.

Pics...

Playmobil or it didn't happen ;-)

"Burgers will be served behind this curtain"

"It is unbelievable customers were being offered porn DVDs with their beer and burgers at an outlet that did not even have the necessary licences."

I wonder what part of "free market" is hard to grok here?

Shame!

She concluded: "The operation went well and we are now looking at the evidence to see what offences have been committed."

Waste of Police time?

Harrassing hard working local businessmen?

Burger Me!

That is all.

Protip

Don't ask for the special sauce

what is so wrong about it

Can somebody explain me why porn is so wrong in this country?

I am sure there wouldn't be any complaints if lets say the dvd was a violent gangster movie.

Driffield.

Ha! Born and grew up there!

Only a tiny town so no surprise this is headline news ;) All very local.. just how they like it.

Trainers?

I must ask our local ice cream van what else he sells other than dodgy cigs...

Referred to ERYC Trading Standards

What a joke, their only interest is protecting the big retailers not the consumers, as I know from personal experience, one joker even tried to scare me out of repeating the T & C's on companies website by using references to the McLibel case. Now this is an organisation ready for cutting under the new plans to reduce the Public Sector, ERYC Tradings Standards are 2nd only to Humberside Police in the list of most useless organisations in the country

What they meant to say:

What they said:

"Undercover officers made test purchases and found this to be true before Saturday night's operation when the caravan was seized. We won't tolerate this because youngsters could have been given the DVDs."

What they meant:

And youngsters are notoriously difficult to get porn back from.

Where did they get the DVDs?

Quite apart from the beer, food and porn licensing issues, did they have the copyright holder's authorisation to be distributing the DVDs?

If they were giving them away free, that makes me suspect they were just ripped from somewhere, so they should be on the hook for video piracy, as well as unlicensed trading in food and beer.

I, for one

demand PlayMobil re-enactment! Or, it didn't happen.

Also cheers all around, everybody else in the thread got the best jokes.

I'd thumbs up everybody, but the thumbs-upping at theregister is vastly more difficult and time consuming than regretsy.
