Last To Know

Hey, I go off for a weekend down to Cornwall and end up talking to myself on the old Forum.

If it hadn't been for Lyndon, I'd have still been there :rolleyes:

For the benefit of those that hadn't seen my last post :

"Still traumatised."

Got stopped last night after a surfing weekend in Cornwall - doing 94 mph round a bend on the A30. By the time I saw the speedgun I knew it was too late.

It was only a matter of time and blue lights duly caught up with me a mile later down the road (by that time I was doing a respectable 70 mph).

"Did I realise I was doing 94 mph round that bend?" (the figure on the speedgun

confirmed my worse fears).

After a lengthy conversation professing my deepest shock and mentioning my previous job, always ending with "officer", ~(best to let them know they're in charge) the kind sole let me go with a ticking off.

A lesson learned for the day. Needless to say I kept to a steady 80mph all the way home which was quite good for me.

Robbie.

Thanks all.

lol @ Derek. Careful though, I got a grilling as to which stations I used to work at and he checked the account with my girlfriend just to be sure I was telling the truth (suspicious lot coppers).

Tho I think he let me off cos I was respectful towards him and called him officer, oh, and maybe because he told my girlfriend (an area bank manager) that she was to give a loan to the next customer who asked for one (she was worried that might be him on Monday lol )
