So if you're a privatised water company you can pump raw sewage into rivers and nobody does anything about it, but if you're a private citizen you can get fined for pouring coffee down a drain.

Please make it make sense.

Burcu Yesilyurt says the fine is "disproportionate" while Richmond Council say it is in line with its policies.

@hub @annaf absolutely. Doing an oil change and putting the waste oil down the drain should certainly be fined more than £150. And emptying the chemical toilet from your motorhome into the drain should also get a hefty fine.

But coffee is not toxic to wildlife. If we’re going to fine coffee drinkers then why not stop people washing their cars in the street?
