just back from a hoon and oh my - her majesty's income generation collectors were out in force....

oh, Norfolk plod have some new vans - they are the little "rascal" vans

hard to see, not so many markings, and coloured blue


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

Yeh, I got pulled over for a bike and equipment safety check by three plods at Ollerton roundabout. They were there when I went out, (with a queue of more than 20 bikes being checked), two hours earlier and I thought they'd have gone by the time I got back. Looks like they'd been there doing real policing all day! :smt009
Didn't moan about the cans, which are stamped legal buit certainly don't sound it, from what they said, seemed to mainly be after small numberplates, just pointed out my rear tyre was a bit worn in the middle of the tread.

One flash and you got away with it, two and you didn't. I didn't (last year) 35 in a 30 due to being tired and shagged out after a Monday early shift, I forgot the camera was there :(

Is this a good time to mention that the roads between my home and work are all unrestricted?

OK, I'll get my coat.... :smt053

Might get lucky, it might not be live.

Where was it? When I lived in Surbiton I set off a few and heard nothing at all.
