Speak nicely to the officer

Living in North Wales means being more aware than most of the risks we run every time we take the car out on the roads. Up here, 30 miles an hour means 30 miles an hour and not 31. Stick to it or you risk being confronted by officers of the law leaping out of a cunningly disguised horsebox and forcing you to an abrupt halt. That being the case, this seems a natural progression in their remit.
If anyone is worried by this and feels they need help in brushing up their accent, grammar and general command of the English language, I shall, of course, be happy to help, on payment of an exorbitant fee naturally.

Ahem! English language should begin with a capital "E"! Payment of an exorbitant fee is now required...naturally. Send £50 to

Oh, that's funny! Thanks - sitting in an airport waiting for a flight home, I could use a little humour! LOL!

Unfortunately, Jay, the horsebox bit is true! A symbol of the lengths our N Wales chief police officer is willing to go to!

Think I should avoid visitng North Wales. Due to my present condition I freqently find myself exceeding the speed limit by a few mph and any officer of the law who stops me will be wishing he hadn't.

Power to us 'mature women', Rosie!

So, we're still no further forward on the British Gas smart meter front and I've given up making non-existent appointments with them...
