This morning at 04:30 I got a tug by the old bill. I knew there was a car behind me, but they were pretty clever about it, unmarked dark grey focus ST, kept well back didn't twig till they accelerated to close the gap and the blue lights lit up the grill like a gay truckers convention.
Fair cop - I was pressing on a bit (a lot 40+ in a 30)
So out steps mois in my full gamesmaker regalia to greet the female plod
"good morning officer"
"good morning sir - do you know why we have stopped you?"
" yes indeed, the speed limit here is 30 mph, and I was doing about 40 mph" ( wise to admit I was speeding, but I wasnt going to hang myself) "My only excuse is that there is no-one else around at this time in the morning"
Stunned plod "well I am pleased you realise the situation sir, do you have your license"
Now this is crunch point, Do you or do you not admit you have your license on you? I have her on the back foot, so to keep her there:
"yes indeed- here it is officer"
Off she wanders to confer with her miserable scowling short assed male colleague
Much scribbling on pad by her and radio use
So! Today's quiz, what did she present me with?
