Traffic Cops on Watch+1 now, he's just pulled over a family in a car, none of them wearing seatbelts. He's a traveller, late 20s. Also has no insurance, tax or license. Does a check on him and finds out he was pulled the night before for drink driving. Expensive looking solid gold Rolex on his wrist though.

Pure coincidence. I am certain there was simply a misunderstanding with the breathalyser, DVLA, ANPR, Post Office and insurance company and he was perfectly legal

From the pictures, only that they are all male, all footballers, and all convicted rapists. If you're trying to infer anything else, don't. Not here.

How do they get their fringes like that? Surely you need a hairy forehead to be able to pull that off?

They don't seem to like daagsrolleyes

Further to my earlier post about the various visits from our happy go lucky travelling friends, I recall a few other encounters with them. They seem very keen on the health of wild life, particularly smallish brown mammals. A few years ago they had given one small mammal quite a checking over. After following it at a safe distance around a freshly planted field of potatoes, I can only assume they thought that its cardio vascular system was in fine fettle and left it be until last year when they gave it the once over when the same field was planted with wheat.

They also have quite an interest in wheat agronomy. Only last year we had on charitable, happy chappy walking his lurcher daag through our wheat. He was obviously checking to see how the pre emergence sprays had worked and was looking for over winter aphids while he was there. It was considerate of him to drive down the private road that dissects the field, that way he didn't wear out public tarmac or block a public road by parking on it.
I think you'll find he was, very kindly, checking your field numbers.

For those interested in that article about the two guys found shot in a burning car:

http://www.echo-news.co.uk/news/local_news/basildo...

Amazingly, despite being suspected of a double murder, they've been released on bail!

Even though he's already on bail after being arrested for an attempted double murder last month:

article said:
TWO men have been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder following shootings at a travellers’ site.

Sam Vinden, 38, and Christopher Line, 28, were arrested along with three other men after a vehicle was fired at in Suffolk.

Mr Vinden and Mr Line have lived in south Essex for several years on pitches at Oak Lane, Crays Hill, Meadow Lane, Wickford, and New Park Road, Hockley, and still have links to the area.

No-one was injured in the attack at Willow Park traveller site in Beck Row, near Mildenhall

Wonder if the two stories are connected?
