Today, for the first time EVER, I was stopped by the Police! :eek:
Not strictly true, but I DO like a touch of the dramatic

I popped over to a client’s office to collect my coat (I had stupidly left it at the directors home after performing my usual technical wizardry). The traffic was RIDICULOUSLY slow.
Pressing buttons on the Sat Nav (henceforth to be known as ‘Daniel’), he (you can’t beat a bit of anthropomorphism!) directed me away from the teeming masses and on into a quaint little estate.
The Police were lying in wait for just this!

After passing one or two roads with a ‘Access Only’ signs on, I proceeded down a street WITHOUT the aforementioned label attached.
Police at bottom of road waved me over.
“Where have you come from?”
“Leeds Road”
“Where are you going”
“Bingley”
“Ah, following your Sat Nav? Because this area is Access Only. It’s JUST a warning today…”
“Not according to the road I came down officer – there WAS signs on these two roads [pointing] but NOT the one I came down”
#Slightly puzzled expression from Police guy# – “Hmm, I’ll get that fixed then…”

A Police warning for nothing! Even Daniel was unimpressed.
Oh dear…
