Stereophonics singer has been fined for urinating in public.
Welshman Kelly Jones was caught pissing in the street in Camden, though rumours have it that the £80 fine might have come from his reaction and subsequent verbal abuse given out to the police.
When the policeman reminded him the residents of Camden wouldn’t appreciate having their streets pissed on, the front man simply replied:
“I know that. That’s why I live in Fulham.”
Quality.
