Its that time of year....
« on: 07 July 2016, 17:50:04 »
When Swindon is stuffed full!  ::)

But I have a question for the boys in blue....

Saw a Merc 4x4 today (unmarked) turn on its blue and two's to get round some standstill traffic, but it had a foreign number plate (maybe German, seeing as it was a Merc, but couldn't see). Is that allowed??  :-\ IE a foreign Police or diplomatic or high ranking official car allowed to use its blues and twos in another country? especially just to avoid heavy traffic?

Without knowing what it was I couldn't tell ya. But some are allowed i.e. that Behemoth that comes over when the US President is lauding it up here & other 'special forces'.

The 'Magic Roundabout' must be a nightmare, no wonder all those foreign 'dignitaries' put their lights on to get across!  ::)

It's bad enough for your average Brit, but it must be like doing sudoku on wheels for foreigners. Completely baffling!  ;D

Its closes tonight at 10pm and reopens at 8am Sat for repairs and a Vintage car parade!

So with Wotton Bassat road closed due to a collapsed sewer (a main route into the 'Old Town') lets close another main route into town on the other side  ::) ::)

Not uncommon to see complete cants hammering up and down the M40 in 12 year old Passats on eastern European plates...

Was a spate of truck hijackings there abouts a year or so ago...
