 Post subject: F***IN coppers.
PostPosted: Sun Mar 21, 2010 8:59 am 
Some chavy boozed up Neanderthal decided to throw a traffic cone at my motor last night hitting the front windscreen. Anyway got out and caught him took him down the side of this garage and well the rest is history. When I got back into the car I phoned the coppers to tell them that idiots were throwing traffic cones at cars and that I'd been hit by one of these cones.

Do you know what the coppers said?? They said when you pass them smile at them, if they see you smiling they won't throw things at your car. They weren't just throwing them at Taxis, anything with 4 wheels got one thrown at them.

20 minutes later I went past again on my way to a job and they were still at it, the same guy who I took down the side of the garage and his dead head mates.

Coming the other way through the traffic lights was a Range Rover Sport in white, I thought, "I know that motor". They decided to give it some cone treatment.

"Wrong move lads", enter the local hard man / cage fighter / Kick boxing instructor / 6th Dan martial arts instructor / Nottingham's Strongest man with a world record chest press Mr Dave Benniston. He got out and cleared the deck, all 6 of them were on the floor in a heap. I didn't see him move :shock: :shock: :shock:

We phoned the Police up once again to tell them there had been a nasty accident and 6 lads were laid in the middle of the road with injuries, we put cones round them and F***ED off.

I got a phone call at 2am this morning off the Police asking me if I'd seen anything regarding the assault of 6 lads? 4 of which were admitted to Kings Mill Hospital with head and facial fractures / injuries.

Who said revenge wasn't sweet?? :D :D :D

I hope for your good health & well-being, your post isn't the catalyst for Mr Strong being arrested.

We didn't want to damage any other cars when they ran over them.

I agree with some of the replies.

Taxi touting, in the bigger picture of life in Great Britain nowadays, is small change.

DSA registered Driving instructers have a huge problem with unlicensed instructers giving lessons, and whilst we will all sympathise, most of us won't give it a second thought as it really doesn't impact on our lives or money we take.

Thats just how 99.99% of the population (and the Police?) view miniscabs picking up from the street.
Its a number one problem for a couple of hundred thousand Taxi drivers, but the rest of Britains 59'800'000 occupants won't give a stuff.

Sadly, thats the reality of the situation.

Its something they'll live with.

That is the truest comment I have ever read from you.

Yes but that comment is not true, It is the money they have made by selling drugs that they are spending. :lol:
