Ermmmm??? I'd hate to think what you must flush...

I am surprised you are surprised.

Although I have to admit I didn't think it would be either so soon or so
silly. I do wonder actually if plod were taking the piss deliberately
but I doubt it as I dare say they were under orders from inside the
hall.

Aspirin is what you need, thin it down a bit.

 

If there is a chip in the plate it'd only have to be about 2mm across
and could be buried anywhere in the plastic. Better to Xray it for a
look, or, how about just putting it in the microwave to render the chip
void. Remember to wear a tinfoil hat.

Want me to X-ray one?

Or not?

 

You missed out apparatchik.

Although I'm with you all the way. In 1991 I made one of my sixth form
students cry with my rant against politicians. She wants to be prime
minister and save the world. Oxford, PPE and some years working as a
researcher in the House of Commons later - she is headed for a safe Labour
seat in the next election. She no longer wants to save the world, she wants
to become prime minister.

Massive shot in the foot for Nulabor. They pick on a serious coffin-dodger
who's a)been a Labour member for longer than Tony's been alive, and b)has
got previous experience of facists. The papers have a field day. Gaiety of
nations stuff.

Quite right. It'll be one lurid fuckup after another, with cost overruns
that would fund a British manned expedition to Mars.

MCN has been burned before. They probably thought it was another one of
your wind-ups.

To be running chips in plates, all the guys in shoe-shops who have to fax
your details to Swansea would have to be in on it, otherwise the the chipped
plate would be sitting in the back of the shed while you drove around with
your nice new unchipped plate. TBH if I was going to put a tracker on a
car, embedding it in the numberplate would be the /last/ place...

I had a moment of clarity the other day. If you really want to screw up
Tesco's data-gathering exercise, swap your Clubcard with a total stranger,
preferably from a different part of the country. Then swap again, next
month. And the month after...

Anything you say will be taken down and may be used in evidence in your
secret trial.

No shit.

I'd be up for it, if we increase the limit to 500cc. It's a long long
way on a 200.

 

It's a long way on a Saturn V.

She needs to find a real man, the officer put you in your place. Job done.

 

Actually the heavies [1] who had thrown him and the younger chap out from inside
the auditorium had taken his pass away. When he tried to get back in without
one he was stopped, and the nearest PC checked him out. May or may not have been
under S44.

Police involvement was minimal, and they did no more than they would have done
to anyone else attempting to get in without a valid pass.... checked they
weren't a gun totin' loon, then let them get on their way.

[1] The hired thugs, er "volunteer stewards" employed by New Labour to control
the masses.

 

In the car mine's roughly 3mph out at 30, 4mph out at 70 and it
allegedly goes up to about 6mph out at speeds where 6mph wouldn't
matter either which way, when compared with GPS.

Or so some people said on a forum. Ahem.

Hmm the paper I read said something about "briefly detained under
anti-terrorism laws".

Rather sad state of affairs if an 82 yo is now regarded as a terrorist
(though if the Gov. carry on like they are currently, I suspect you will
start getting some gun toting OAPs.)

(c) There's been a spate of KSI's [1] on that stretch of road, so the local
Police have been tasked to stop anyone who is exceeding the limit at all.
(d) There've been complaints to Police by the locals, and the Police are
conducting a Speed Survey, and just flinging a few warnings in for effect. [2]

******
The Police Service now uses technology that enables it to prove that an offence
has been committed as soon as a driver exceeds the relevant speed limit by a
very small margin. Motorists will therefore be at risk of prosecution
immediately they exceed any legal speed limit.

The guidance to police officers is that it is anticipated that, other than in
the most exceptional circumstances, the issue of fixed penalty notices and
summonses is likely to be the minimum appropriate enforcement action as soon as
the following speeds have been reached:

Limit Fixed Penalty Summons
20 mph 25 mph 35 mph
30 mph 35 mph 50 mph
40 mph 46 mph 66 mph
50 mph 57 mph 76 mph
60 mph 68 mph 86 mph
70 mph 79 mph 96 mph

This guidance does not and cannot replace the police officer's discretion and
they may decide to issue a summons or a fixed penalty notice in respect of
offences committed at speeds lower than those set out in the table. Moreover,
in particular circumstances, driving at speeds lower than the legal limit may
result in prosecution for other offences, for example dangerous driving or
driving without due care and attention when the speed is inappropriate and
inherently unsafe.

[1] Killed or Seriously Injured
[2] Word gets round, and speed naturally drops as people think they're about to
be done for 1 MPH over.

 

Eh??? She was driving alone, I wasn't there? Did you even bother to READ the
post???

Never mind, try harder next time.
