According to one of the more knowledgeable and respected posters in this group, I was unlawfully detained by the council for that 3 minutes. I can't remember anyone saying that at all, perhaps you have a link to prove it ... If Traffic Lights are not working, then you can telephone the police for permission to procede. If this is not forthcoming, then you can reports it as "unlawful detention". (Anchor Lee) So you say ... I've never heard of it, or heard anyone 'here' suggest it in the manner Nuxx suggested. Phil ****** Lee has previously said: "If Traffic Lights are not working, then you can telephone the police for permission to procede. If this is not forthcoming, then you can reports it as "unlawful detention". It is of course - like most legal matters he pronounces on - absolute ********. Yes, I thought as much. It did tickle me though, hence this topic. I forgot about putting in the "phoning the police for permission" bit unfortunately. I believe that Nuxx Bar may have been taking the **** - but I could be wrong. You're entirely correct of course. Do you perchance have a Google Groups link to the thread containing the "offending" Phil Knee post? I know he X-No-Archives everything, but perhaps there's a reply or two quoting it (since it's too barking to have been ignored!) |

I'm afraid I don't really "get" the appeal of cycling, Too slow for you. Yes, that's right, just because I oppose speed limits being set far too low and then rigidly enforced for no safety gain, I'm some kind of nutter speed freak. Keep telling yourself that if it makes you feel better. (There, a nice short post for you since you're unable to read more than a few lines. I'm sure you know really what a cnut Chapman is by now anyway.) |
