Random Irritations

The Met have said they're not interested but there's a suggestion that Essex Police could possibly be getting involved as it might come under their authority depending on where it happened.

I believe it's being left to the RSPCA
 
I usually leave plenty time to get to golf course and drive about 60-65 as I'm retired and never need to rush anywhere but due to hold up in Tesco was running a wee bit late today, it's a two lane expressway all the way with a 70mph limit, was toddling along at about 73-74 when I see a tractor in the distance and a white BMW X5 coming up pretty fast behind, one of those where you wonder do I pull out and accelerate or just let them go past, so of course i pull out well in advance pass the tractor pull back in only to have them go past me put their blue lights on and display 'slow down' they didn't stop me but i will now have 14 days to wait and see if I get a ticket, it's bloody annoying as it would be my first offence in 46 years of driving

You won’t get a ticket mate, they would have stopped you if they were going down that route.
Isn’t BIM an ex road cop, maybe he can clear up what the crack is?
 
-32C after wind chill on fake snow in a decommissioned power plant, yup id be complaining too!!!!
Hey, I'm sitting here having my bait being able to see a decommissioned power plant in the background. Just visible through the lights in the immediate area outside my building and heavy Cumbrian rain.....?
I'm not complaining, well apart from the fact I've got 7 hours to go on my shift.
