    Managed to get pulled this morning for slinking over a red light coming up to Trafalgar square from Whitehall. I have been stopped a couple of times around Whitehall but this was the first time that I had a full name check, and was threatened with ‘being charged’…

    Charged with what exactly? Is it a criminal offence and what is the worse that they can do (bar bang you up for having a beard and a healthy dislike of the boys in blue)

    As a copper said to me in reply to my question "what are you going to nick me for?"

    "Don't worry - I'll think of something"

    :shocked:

    From Audax UK's mag:

    "As far as I am concerned there are 3 colours of traffic light:

    green
    nearly green
    and was very recently green"

    papa, I'm colour blind too.

    but obviously you know red is at the top, then amber, then green?

    that's how they get us.

    hah, you know those spotted colour discs they show you? and you're supposed to see numbers or something in them..

    they look like shit to me, and being colour blind fucked me up over a couple of career choices when i was younger..I'm not even that bad, i can tell red from blue..not a lot else
