I'm sorry to hear that Mell, thats a fair way over, so if you can please take advice, you could even try Gary, he cant get it cancelled but may be able to help you deal with it. I've just noticed in the local rag that a young chap has just been banned for doing 70 in a 40, thats sounds very bad on the young chaps part, but what they dont tell you is up until a couple of months ago that was a 70 limit, its a dam dual carrageway, speed limt has been lowered due to whinging villagers who buy a house on a trunk road and then decide they dont like traffic !

ask on www.traffic-answers.com they were invaluable when it came to my misdemeanour

15 over is on the borderline for a standard 3-point �60 fixed penalty, if theyd clocked you at one more mph youd be staring at 6 points

In response to your smoking arguement Peter, why should I have to leave my favourite pub or resturant just because you've bought into the passive smoking lobby ?

I hear what you say, but to be honest, if you want to clean the air up so much how come you drive around in a large engined BMW ?, would a clean little smart car be more ideal ?, or an lpg conversion etc etc.

I guess its your choice to drive a large engined BMW, is it right that you should force others to breath the exhaust fumes of your choice ?

Get the idea ?

All in jest Peter, but I'm sure you get the point, anti smoking is just a fad, they seem to be getting bored with that now, and are starting on booze.

WRT smoking, Ireland introduced a ban in all enclosed workplaces (there are a few exceptions) last year. The publicans (a category many policitians fall into) predicted doom and gloom and that the country would implode in a matter of weeks.

Initially a few pubs tried to ignore the ban and got an official warning and they fell into line. The publicans still whinged that they were suffering from drastically falling profits (something most people would agree were too high as drink prices had risen sharply in the last few years).

Anyway, nowadays, smokers must go outside. Many pubs manage to organise a sheltered &/or heated area where people can sit whilst smoking & drinking. The only real drawback of having smoke free air in pubs is the fact that you can now smell all the farts, etc.

Anyway, apparently smoking outside it is now one of the best places to socialise and indeed is the best place to pull whilst on a night out!

I agree with this, how come smokers get to take more breaks at work than me!!

Because people like you want to enforce your opinions on others and do your best to stop them enjoying a ciggy whilst they work !

Simple really.

Tin hat on...awaiting response !!!!

I'vre spoken to my boss about any incoming ban, I will be able to smoke anywhere at work I want, whenever I want, have as many breaks as I wish as long as my work is done, I can even set my own holidays and salary level.

Lovely bloke my boss, pity there arent more around like him.

 Just to bring the Gatso,s subject back in focus (after a Drag (Smoke) or 2.Mr Edgar, who was shafted by CPS- Crown Prosecution(NON) Service the Hearing was applied to be  adjourned--Cos the Mire has hit the Fan.HE asked for a days hearing--they said 2 Hours!!

So much Publicity++ Fleet St--now means that Bliar and the Safety slime , dont know what to say.The Court want to Fast Foward the case, Guilty-GBye, -- But-it aint gonna be like that.So await new hearing date.Does that tell YOU--what the Govt Think you will  believe- anything it says?????? You Know it makes Sense !!!

If you want to smoke then go outside, they say there is nothing worse than a reformed smoker and I agree coz I am one, 12 years 30 a day then thought why! so stopped. My wife also smoked, decided to stop then 3 months later we were pregnant after 12 years of trying. As they say smoking IS bad for you but no government health warnings about driving a big car. For what its worth when Tories were in, my mortgage was 16%, nuf said coz thats what matters to us at the end of the day, also Tory said they would not increase taxes!, correct they just created a few new ones.

Mark Labour through and through.

P.S the two most common causes of war are politics and religon, so dont start scrapping, everyone has an opinion and an opinion is like an -----ole, everyone has one its just not nice to air it in public.
