A new catch-all Tea Shop thread for those miscellaneous new stories that don’t quite fit with parking, crashing into buildings or trapped/prisoners in their homes.

Offender should have offended in Lancashire where the police show proper respect for people in large expensive fast cars.

Offence occurred at 16:19 on 14.9.24- driver of BMW M4 A15 TJV accelerated hard when the lights turned red. Reported to OpSnap Lancs at 17:30 the same day and given the code APL149463 (if LancsFilth could block me from using the site they would have done long ago, but they can’t because it’s national for all OpSnaps). This was the scene at the moment the lights changed to red, presumably the red wasn’t established enough

Did this incident take place in a 1970s sitcom? 

I guess Susan Rogers should be lucky that there wasn’t a swan involved.

Not in the sense used here they are not*, or at least not in either edition I own of the Oxford English Dictionary. Be interested to hear which dictionaries they are in.

*There is a sense “like a disc” as in “the tree’s disced canopy”

Around here farmers disk their fields. They can then say that they disked their field yesterday. But yes, completely different sense of the word, and a verb, not an adjective.
