And thank you old chap for your kind PM. Shall I post you some cake?
Oh ok! It's a lot better than the offer to see your puppies I suppose.

It seems that many of us will soon be joining Mr Nick.  evil:

Police will be much less likely to give verbal warnings and will instead issue fixed-penalty notices for minor offences such as failing to signal, passing too close to a cyclist or not displaying lights at night. Drivers will pay an automatic £60 fine and have three penalty points added to their licences.

More than a million motorists have six or more points on their licences. Anyone who receives 12 points within three years is banned for six months. In 2006, 26,400 drivers were banned for “totting up” 12 points.

Road safety groups are concerned that the new power will fuel suspicion among drivers that police are acting unfairly and that fines are being issued to raise revenue.

My mate the ex-Lodger popped in last night to admire the Rug. He reminded me that we are doing our post trauma Driving course starting next Thursday. Should be interesting!  noooo:

Three consecutive Thursday, then certificate to DVLA and then, all being well, licence before Xmas. Time has gone quite quickly after all

What can possibly go wrong?  scared2:

My mate Ian just popped in. Nice guy, merchant seaman but now landlubber. Coupla kids. Very steady. Looked a bit shocked.

Met a mate in the next village last night. Had a coiuple of beers. Drove home. Straight into a police trap. noooo:

Another one. I have offered him the spare room. His wife is a probation officer  point:
