With his rubbish collected only once a fortnight, Gareth Corkhill's wheelie bin was so full the lid wouldn't shut.

And for that, the father of four finds himself with a criminal record.

Magistrates convicted the 26-year-old bus driver after hearing evidence that the lid was four inches ajar, which is against rules to stop bins overflowing.

This is obviously an outrage. But the only reason he got any sympathy at all from the press was because he was a "father of four".

Can you imagine any sympathy, with press coverage, for a single man? Especially if he were in his 30's, 40's or 50's?
