For the first time ever today

Postby cromwell » 06 Jan 2015, 15:03

I saw a Police car chase.

They were chasing a silver BMW estate through the middle of Wakefield. It wasn't quite up to Sweeney standards, no squealing tyres or "You're nicked, you slag!" but it was a chase.

The BMW wasn't going mega fast but he wasn't stopping either. I lost sight of it after half a mile but my money would have been on the law.

Well done! Never seen a police car chase meself; the only time you see them driving fast round here is en route from the takeaway back to the station .... :D

But it does remind me of the time I was driving home from work and a fire engine swung out of a road in front of me, lights and siren blaring. So I thought, I'll follow it. 2 miles later, I was still more or less on its tail when it finally swung into our cul-de-sac. :o :shock: :o :shock:

To say the old ticker was palpitating would be an understatement .....

Minor chip pan fire, about 10 houses down the road from us .... :lol:

It's usually when Asda are reducing the prices on the fresh cakes in the bakery aisle that they race around here....

That is a foul calumny!

Later on this year the Hepworth Gallery will stage an exhibition of the works of the famous surrealist Heinrich Maydimup, to mass* public acclaim.
