Mr Nick is a very naughty boy

[GROWLER]

I remember gettin' cautioned by the plod for riding me push bike on crimbo eve in '79 whilst 'under the influence'
Riding in and out of the center white lines and singing at the top of me voice wasn't considered to be safe riding apparently...so he said like. 
I just told him I was 'appy, and that that was a very rare occurence, so he let me off providing I walked the bike home.

[Nick]

She admitted as much, and Jim has had a few brushes too. My mate S has not learnt from my experience judging by last night 

Note for non-locals: Like TMR and TEl, Growler and I have developed a few folks in common, like

Any chance of translating that into English like,  as I haven't got the foggiest what you're goin' on about quite frankly?

Merely pointing out that we are both referring to people who we both know. 

[Barman]

Anyhoooo...

I reckon you'd be wise to get a brief to look after you...

It might cost a few bob but you'd hate to be logging in here from your prison cell after the trial thinking "If only I'd got a brief"... 

[Nick]

Quite so!

Even if his fee equates to any reduction in fine I can be no worse off 

Mrs Nick in ranting mode again!!

[Snoopy]

It's her guilt ~ if you can stand the outburst    tell her to confess it tomorrow after Mass

Oh, Mr Snoopy. Bad dog!

Her rant is that I had The Boy in the car. (forget about why)

'YOU ENDANGERED THE LIFE OF MY SON' (note singular possessive)

Oh Christ ~ I know all about that one. MY Child when they are good YOUR child when they are not.

MY child on this occasion when I am the naughty one 

John the Butcher is a lot worse off than me in all this. 3 year ban and 100 hours of Community Service (presumably in a yellow jacket) and at the time he was caught he was getting divorced 

I Must buy him a drink sometime!

What wonderful menial task/s have they got 'John The Butcher' doin' then ey?

On the blamimg YOU when in sole charge of the sprogs thing, yes, I can relate to that old chestnut too. Bloody wimmin.

[Nick]

He was in his shop so couldn't really say a lot. He was very sympathetic and is in far far worse shite than me (he was three times over the limit). It's affected his business and he has to ride a bike back to his bedsit while the doivorce goes through  Not nice at all.

His complaint about hte Community Service (7 hours every SUnday) was the low lifes he has to associate with.

Things could be worse, but this is really getting me down 

[GROWLER]

On the court case day appearance, I think it could be highly unwise to mention the fact that you'd got 'The Boy' on board tbqh.

See what Mr 'I'll have yer kecks down over this, and pass me another g&t please' says.

[Nick]

Well the charge is about driving over the legal limt, Nowt else!

[GROWLER]

Would you rather we shut TF up talkin' about it like?
Seriously. Don't want to keep reminding you if it's upsetting you like.

[Nick]

I'm the one who is keeping the thread going. We may have to let it go quiet, like until there are developments, like
