Jimmy Carr gets off phone while driving charge

Yeah, on average, although I've almost come a cropper when they've wandered into the road in front of me on my bike. You're then faced with a millisecond decision on whether to swerve into the road and risked being squished yourself, or plough into them. They can often be seen wandering along in the gutter in town centres too, oblivious to traffic.

It's pronounced like that everywhere. And rule wise, as it's an abbreviation and pronounced M.O.T. it should be written with an an.
