| whilst exceeding the 60mph speed limit one saturday afternoon to get back in time for the rugby international on tv, i glanced in the mirror only to see a speed cop right on my back bumper. resigned to getting nicked, i duly pulled over and was taken through the usual procedures - `do you know what speed you were doing?` - ` driving licence`. i was then surprised when the policeman started to remove his crash helmet and he said "how the hell are you mate?" and i realised it was my best friend from school, who i hadn`t seen in over 30 years! after quite a chat at the side of the road, with all the `that`ll teach you` glances from passing motorists, i said to the copper, " that was a lucky escape", to which he replied "i was only going to warn you anyway". how relieved was i? |
