    Yep i agree with you king, He has never been in trouble b4 thats why i think is stupid. There are a lot more worse people out there it was a milk shake lol gutting.
    He is kicking himself so has made a impact.

    He is waiting to go in to the army in about 4 weeks

    I seriously hope he has informed them of this then otherwise it may come back to bite him as criminal records (which he will have if he misses the payment if he doesnt have one already) have to be considered on an individual case by case basis for joining the Armed Forces.

    Also if he is under 18 i'm sure that you may actually be responsible for the fine if he doesnt pay, might be wrong there but the parents of under 16's are liable.

    So does this mean that you will still expect his board money from him? I hope so.

    James he is 18, And the only reason we knew is that he left the notice on his bedroom floor, must have slipped out.

    Give him a clip around the ear pay the fine and tell him to give you his JSA and you will give him pocket money and make sure you are paid back.
