I should have known better and it was something I almost never do.

Just so happens there was a constable there with a laser gun when I did it.

Thanks for all your good wishes - long may they last !
I think what it actually is Ann is that
1) The UK paoched police are prepared to stick it once they get in (for Gods Sake even policing Forest Lawn and the rest of 'the hood' cant be any worse than Moss Side)
2) The UK poached officers have more experience\more grit and rise up the ranks faster (most of the 'guys' interviewed are Sgts)
3) We have a lot of female reporters here in Calgary and they get turned on by the accent.

I know I push it but I also know how far I can push it.

This time I was 7kph over "my" limit and I never do that, but for some reason It got away on me and I don't know how that happened.

Oh well it's not the end of the world, "worse things happen at sea" as me dad used to say.
