    What a tosser

    Flintshire Magistrates' Court heard a police speed camera caught him and he asked officers: "Can we call it 98?".

    I don't think £98 is enough to bribe the Welsh police. At least for an Englishman. He should have offered use of his sheep for the weekend.

    I live in North Wales. Hottest police on speeding in the country. Its just not worth speeding round there.

      He assumed that they could afford Wellies !

        Prosecution - let's hire an airfield & an Audi R8 "for research"

        Pickup was fined £675, given six points on his licence and ordered to pay the full prosecution costs - which included the testing - of £10,384

        If RedLetterExperience charge £120 for 3 laps, then how many miles did they test for that price?

          Don't I know it, within earshot of plod I said I'd gone from Prestatyn to Holyhead in under an hour, they were virtually frothing at the mouth at flouting their tourist tax
          Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.

          No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.

            Yup, well-deserved karma indeed.

            Perhaps now he'll drive a bit karma too!

              In ideological terms they are almost identical. Though one could argue that Holyhead has gone downhill since the Aluminium plant closed.

              Driving across Anglesey it is best to speed. Nothing to see there. Not even trees.
