“I was out changing signs and putting out massive signs saying foals in the roads in high vis, and people were still speeding past me.”
Maybe they sped on, reassured that they should have no difficulty spotting them. Fragment, consider revising.

But you don’t have to go to the social media site. They are embedded in the live blog so you can look / watch / read the social media content on this site. If they’re not showing for you that is probably down to your browser settings.

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

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 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.

I tend to agree. But, to play
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?
