Last Saturday whilst out procuring sustenance for my offspring, dog and myself, I was rudely occasioned to rapidly leap to safety in the pedestrian only area of the shopping precinct.
The reason?
Weaving its way at a pace through the heaving populous was a police response car. The driver was negotiating his way around potential resus room patients with one hand whilst he warbled into a mobile phone with the other. He also seemed to have forgotten to apply the seat belt.
Can I try this too next Saturday afternoon but on a main road instead?

ha ha .... one bad egg and all that! was he "on a shout" too, that really would have added insult to injury. I supposing you didn't point out that to carry on in this manner would procure the officer a thrice marked stain on his licence and renumeration to the tune of 60 english pounds?
NB* the Police do have a legal dispensation for not wearing a seatbelt, providing the vehicle is an emergency vehicle fitted with warning equipment, ans is used primarily for that purpose, and also for transporting of prisoners!
My piece came out as a 'rant', when it should really have been a 'whisper' - looking back though, I wrote it after discovering that 'Dewhurst the master butcher' had once more run out of neck of lamb. Guaranteed to get my back 'up' that is. BC
