    Maybe they sped on, reassured that they should have no difficulty spotting them. Fragment, consider revising.

    Peugeot 3008 overturns in Cheriton High Street, opposite BP petrol garage, as garden wall destroyed

    So strange that a garden wall being destroyed would make an innocent passing car flip like that!

    Pet peeve – headlines using ‘as’. Just sounds to me like they’re coincidental events. “Hurricane in London as butterfly flaps its wings in Peru.”

    It’s Park Tool that sell an overpriced pizza cutter, Campagnolo sell the overpriced corkscrew. 

    If you try using the Campag corkscrew to cut a pizza you’ll conclude it’s overpriced for that too.

    Not on precisely the thread

    Not on precisely the thread topic, but close enough. I have just learned that due to overwhelming demand, Operation Snap (Wales) is currently taking no further action in any cases that would only warrant a warning letter – it’s saving itself for serious cases.

    Err, isn’t that further action (albeit of the lowest order)?

    I tend to agree. But, to play devil’s advocate a second…

    If I submitted a close pass video, like TLO’s – would I want the police to trawl back and see if they have any previous evidence on file of similar incidents which might demonstrate a pattern of behaviour and support a prosecution? Yes. Whether what they have found in TLO’s case is any good to support a prosecution is another matter – but there is an argument that, once a decision has been made to charge, they are just doing thorough policing. 

    Clearly I and others here think that swearing in public is degrees of magnitude less serious than the close pass which prompted it, and query if it’s in the public interest to prosecute it – but they’re both on the statute book to be charged.

    All of that said, removing the devil’s advocate’s robe and wig, I sincerely hope the CPS choose not to pursue this or it gets thrown out.

    So depressing.

    So depressing.

    Separate, I know, but is the close pass at least being prosecuted?
