Finished reading a book by Dave Copperfield, subject was about the Police. He sounds rather nice, genuine guy obviously not from round here. Oh right, that might be because he works in a city, which makes the difference. Driving down the hill about 130 am, and this car was going rather slow, I mean very slow, about 5 mile per hour. Finally got to the straight even level and I noticed the driver was not driving straight at all.  I phoned police to report, which obviously was a complete waste of time! I would have been quicker phoning the police in Inverness or maybe London. The no brain receptionist answered, here we go. I instructed where we were driving and she was then going to put the phone down and I asked "Do you not want the number plate registration", "Oh, yes" I am sure I heard this echo in the background, think it might has been one of my dogs. The word, Doh! Or did they say S***** C**.  Whilst driving along the dual carriageway, there was still no sign of the police. No surprise there then. The driver turned off in some estate. So I phoned them back and said, "Oh, well guess you just missed that one then". Only suggesting the quote 'On the double', was missed, or maybe the words 'speed, Pronto? is not on their police vocabulary either. They were probably waiting for their coffee to cool down first.  If anyone wants to do a robbery, muggings, please do come to our local town. By the time the police got round to it, you may have by then reached Barbados. I can understand if this was a minor incident, trivial, but I thought the police take drunk drivers seriously, obviously wrong there then. I can hear the tune at the background, the one where you have given wrong answer in a quiz. In fact a few people have told me the same story. Reported someone drink, driving. There was one guy who was stuck for miles, and finally got to the police station and there quote was, "It's already been reported". They were just starting to get their jackets on. "Well, if you want to catch him, I really think you should move it". Good Citizens as me, the amount of times I have been stopped, starting to wonder if maybe they are looking for private show. "You come to my house big boy. I'll make a man out of you, and you don't need to worry, I have my own handcuffs thank you".  |
