Well, how has my afternoon been?

1. Went to Nationwide. I can take over the mortgage from the ex wife to be no problem :thumbup:

2. Came out to a £50 parking ticket :thumbdown:

3. Got stopped by police on motorway on the way home :thumbdown: :twisted:

I still dont actually understand why I was stopped. I was tootling down the motorway doing 70. Rear view mirror blue lights and all that. I looked at speedo, was OK but instantly felt guilty.

Officer jumped out of his car asking me what speed I thought I was doing, I told him. He said, "yes you were....but while we are here lets have a look over your car shall we?" YES SIR.

He then spent 10 minutes examining every nook and cranny of my car (on the hard shoulder), to say - "Thats fine sir, have a good journey. Oh and next time, try and pull over a bit faster when we are behind you". YES SIR (the delay was me sh*tting myself!!)

Icy,
That's really scary :shock:

It's a good job they weren't doing a snot or vicks test :lol:

I got pulled in by the police a couple of years ago, on one of their routine drink/drive checks. The police thought they'd be clever and they were pulling in cars in batches, just before 9 a.m. to catch people who'd been out drinking the night before.

And when they told me they wanted to breathalyse me, I'm afraid I laughed. I said to them that if they found anything there was something very wrong with their machine because I hadn't drunk any alcohol in about 20 years! And afterwards the policeman said it seemed their machine was fine because the reading was zero :lol:

But, like you, they had a good look around the outside of my car and they asked me my age as well, which I imagine was to make sure it was me driving the car - because I'm sure they've got all my records and all the car's records on their computer system.

It did take me a moment, as well, to realize they wanted me to pull over - it's never happened to me before in 30 years of driving.

I've been pulled over once, as a 17 year old, doing 50mph in a 30mph zone. It was a dual carriageway on the edge of a town. I just hadn't seen the sign. Amazingly, Mr Plod let me off. I still can't believe it 28 years later!!

Bedrock Barney - you're clearly a jammy so and so ... :lol:

i feel so bad. I've been so good too.

Im on my 5th stella and second bag of salt and vinegar french fries.

My health spell was good while it lasted.

Looking at the Lemon cupcakes with affection though.
