Stotytime.
Its a dull November day sick of looking at the rotting hulk car body shel at the back of the barn. that donored a project. Its get the 595 and load it on the cabstar and a trip to mr smiths scrap metals.
The car is overhanging 18 inch not two foot. a lighting board on the back as well as the easy seen truck lights and two pieces of reflective tape complete the package, wrap it up with three ratchet straps we are off.
The sun starts shining the birds are singing all is well. just as we pull into john smiths scrap yard
we are pulled in by one of the local police cars onboard two police and a waste disposal type council official.
They go through the ussual routine looking pokeing waving hands looking inteligent,. Time goes by nothing major has hapened its decided the car is on but they dont like the overhang. then the council bloke decides it does not look legal, is that tyre bald etc, the police look and say its fine,. then council Dick asks what is the car doing here.
Its being disposed of in the scrap yard, in the form of a free donation to the Smith family rescue fund:
then it is you dont want any money for it then.... No is the reply.
Why not is Dicks retort
Because i am a helpfull chap is the reply.
To sell that car you need a waste disposal licence, it is 150 pounds and i have a form here. failing to have a waste disposal licence is up to a 5000 pound fine..
You have a form?? you suprise me was the reply
Do you want a form Dicks face lights up.
No is the reply
Dicks face drops, and he steps out of charecter..
Well i think the truck is overweight Dick states.
I know you are wrong is the reply.
I want it to go to a weigh bridge at---- says Dick.. (He is a council official)
That is a no go its 5 miles away there is no diesel in this and anyway the police dont like the overhang, and if they dont like it i am not moving it anywhere.
Well says Dick weigh it off here then and i am getting the ministry here VOSA i want the diesel checked.
Truck in yard police watch it off and check the weight, and i colect my reciept markd as donation with many thanks. Outside the gates A fast car with a million ariels is there now 8 police and the 2 officials from VOSA and the council chap.
They check the note weighed OFF.
7 cwts :
They check the vin tags they check the tyres chasis number look at all the owners names ONE name .
Dip the diesel. its clear as a bell.
Dick walks away not a happy bunny at all.
a quiet word from the multi ariel fast plain car driver about overhang.
A polite reply was returned and cabstar returded to the road.
In total 4 hours had gone by.
All the above people were doing a job, and acting within the law.
Its nice to know we can sleep in our beds at night knowing the agents of the realm are out there pounding the streets in thair relentles quest for law order and justice.
