Dear Jac: Sometimes it seems like the odds are against you and you just can't win

Yes, it’s a bit of an old theme, I’m afraid. I’m on the subject of trading standards officers again. In the last issue I wrote a story passed on by a retailer praising a TSD who had inspected the store’s fireworks and who had been both co-operative and willing to learn. Spiffing. it should always be like that - tho of you on the same side, making sure no harm comes to your ‘public’.
