I was wondering what other thought about what happened to the in-laws the other day. The council came out to remove a hornets nest from a tree in their front garden and charged them £69 for the privilege. They were neither aware of the nest or had called them, apparently someone had called the council as the hornets were flying around on the footpath close by.
Now if I was to call out the council to remove something from my property rats for example I wouldn’t be charged. So why are my in laws being charged for the removal of a wild animal that has chosen to nest in their garden, when they weren’t the one to request it. Seems more than a little off to me. What do you think?

A pocket knife is not a weapon in the right hands it’s an essential garden tool.
