About this listen
In this episode we tell the unusual story of an 86-year-old man in Skegness, England, who was fined by local enforcement officers after he spat out a leaf that had blown into his mouth while he was sitting outside. What seemed like a natural reaction to a gust of wind became a £250 littering penalty — later reduced to £150 on appeal — leaving the man to pay a fine for what he insists was a reflexive act. We lay out exactly what happened, how the fine came about, and the surprising details of this unusual enforcement case.
