Very strange thing between Willingham Woods and Market Rasen

After seeing the Yellow Falco near Caistor, we detoured to Willingham via Caistor High Street, still a great road in a fast car.
Went past Willingham Woods and it looked chocker with bikes. Strangely didn't see any plod on the east side approach or any in the car park. Also couldn't see the obligatory speed camera/video van up the road towards Market Rasen, (how the hell are the going to catch bikes just over the limit never mind video evidence of wheelies as they leave the car park).
As we passed the Race Course there was an umarked BMW with a plod in all black leathers and a while flip front helmet, as we came into the 40 limit.
I slowed as we drove in to the 30 limit, but could only slow to about 32mph as the bloke in the van behind was still doing over 40 and catching me quickly whilst chatting on the mobile.
Turned around to Terri and commented "bet that copper will be off chasing a bike with loud a can soon, should be after this bloke behind whose doing 40 in a 30 limit and on the phone".
Hears a siren behind and could see blue lights flashing on the unmarked bike from just before as he came up behind the van. I half expected him to come past, but no he pulled the van over.
Don't you just love it when something like that happens!
Made my day! :smt001

Nice one, Howard! I'm still waiting to witness something like that to offset the countless incidents that I see when there's either no Plod in the vicinity or those that are seem to be preoccupied.

Its refreshing to hear of PC Growler targeting the actual villian rather than the percieved one because thier chief does not like bikes !
