It appears I have to go to court

[Swiss Toni]

The CPS messenger may just have got mixed-up by the sound of it. I'm not aware of any charge being 'upped' at Court (pretty sure this isn't lawful but will stand being corrected - known plenty reduced pre-trail though!)

Information can be laid immediately before a trial but it would be exceptional and a court are likely to see it as an abuse of process. Any defence solicitor would want to delay the proceedings.

(It could be that the offence became "Dangerous" due to the condition of the vehicle rather than the standard of driving? - and that this information only came to light at a later point?)

Have a nice day in court, remember timings will always go to pot as the police will wheel in first the low life they picked up last night which they wish to get back in the pokey. Enjoy the defence lawyer trying to make out the defendant is just a victim of his circumstances and take a nice soft cushion to sit on - those court benches can be murder.

My signed & submitted statement cleverly didn't mention my speed; that was a verbal admission to the traffic plod at the scene.

However, I will pack an overnight bag when I attend

Your car is not fitted with a calibrated speedometer. You therefore cannot have ascertained your speed with any precision.

An indicated 85mph could be as low as a real 76mph - within 10% of the speed limit.

If asked - answer with "they were pulling away from me and I was not driving below the speed limit" ..... that does not incriminate you.

Home now, message was left on my answer-phone by the prosecution chappie. He has said that he was grateful for my valuable appearance today, the defendant has been convicted of dangerous driving* and will be sentenced early in October as they are awaiting a pre-sentencing report as they are not ruling out a custodial sentence..

He's gone, he saw, he said, he walked.

Case over

Where is the T-Shirt with the slogan, I have been to court and all I got was this lousy t-shirt.


Mind you, so we can read it it would need to be in font size 8million. And no doubt look thru the telescope the wrong way round to squeeze it all in. Not suggesting Mr Saunders is the size of the universe, oh no. Not suggesting that at all. He probably east universes for breakfast. it would expalin his enormity.

dunno. I used "Wash and Go" once. Worked a treat too. One wash. Gone.


Tescos always have a sense of humour failure when you buy "Head and Shoulders" and ask for a 50% dicount as I only need the "shoulders" bit.

Never I have got so much as Titter out of them.


Mr Sheen best for bonce shine.

Lighter fluid for those days when you want to impress people by setting fire to you head and looking around wondering why everyone is pointing at you.


Not to be done lightly, and if any children are watching. DON'T.
