ALL THINGS WEST HAM INCLUDE OVER LAND AND SEA (OLAS)

OLAS ON THE VERGE OF EXTINCTION: SERIOUS TIMES. OLAS was informed yesterday that we need street trading licences for every seller on a match day. This will cost in excess of 10 grand and is not viable. Newspapers and periodicals are exempt from uk street trading laws, but they are not classing OLAS as a periodical? How can that be? What is it then? At best, I cant see me going on longer than two more issues unless I can resolve this very quickly. I have been selling olas in the same spot for 24 years. How come only now they are after me? Two things, if I am driven out from selling at West Ham, hopw many of you would support me still by buying it as a pdf? Secondly, are any of you lawyers who would take this on for me? The only way I can see of staying alive is proving OLAS is a periodical. If Newham Council wont accept that, then gang, after 24 years, they will have beaten me. Help!!

I believe that the Council are pissed off with OLAS, because of their stance against the OS...

Gary's had a lot of support and suggestions through facebook, I hope he finds a way.

Periodical literature (also called a periodical publication or simply a periodical) is a published work that appears in a new edition on a regular schedule. The most familiar examples are the newspaper, often published daily, or weekly; or the magazine, typically published weekly, monthly or as a quarterly. Other examples would be a newsletter, a literary journal or learned journal, or a yearbook. These examples are typically published and referenced by volume and issue. "Volume" typically refers to the number of years the publication has been circulated, and "Issue" refers to how many times that periodical has been published during that year. For example, the April 2011 publication of a monthly magazine first published in 2002 would be listed as, "Volume 9, Issue 4." (Roman numerals are sometimes used in reference to the Volume number.) Periodicals can be classified into two types: popular and scholarly. The popular periodicals are magazine and newspapers, like Ebony and Esquire. The scholarly periodicals are found in libraries and databases. Examples are The Journal of Psychology and the Journal of Social Work. Trade/Professional journals are also examples of periodicals. They are written for an audience of professionals in the field.
These examples are related to the idea of an indefinitely continuing cycle of production and publication: newspapers plan to continue publishing, not to stop after a predetermined number of editions. A novel, in contrast, might be published in monthly parts, a method revived after the success of The Pickwick Papers by Charles Dickens.[1] This approach is called part-publication, particularly when each part is from a whole work, or a serial, for example in comic books. It flourished in the middle of the nineteenth century, for example with Abraham John Valpy's Delphin Classics, and was not restricted to fiction.[2]
The International Standard Serial Number (ISSN) is to periodical publications what the ISBN is to books: a standardized reference number.
Postal services often carry periodicals at a preferential rate; for example, Second Class Mail[3] in the United States only applies to publications issued at least thrice per year.


Sounds like it counts as a periodical to me?
