    All I could find on the internet was that doing 39 in a 30 area would mean 3 points and a fine of up to £1k! :eek: Rather relieved to be hearing the £60 figure...:o

    Guess who is having no spending money for the next month.

    That'll be a fixed penalty. I've got 3 points and £6- fixed penalty for doing 47 in a 30 due to stupid temporary roadworks on a dual carriageway... :mad: :mad:

    Jump on in hoooodie! I would recommend that you read the first time posters and DFW dictionary posts at the top of the board to familiarise yourself with everything though. :)

    Morning. I've got 3 bosses in today and each has their own agenda (they don't appreciate that I need to do my workload as well as wiping their @rse):mad: :mad:

    Sorry to hear the old cat's pi$$ing everywhere; I've tended to put dried orange peel or "cat away" pepper spray on the carpet (after I've thoroughly cleaned the carpet). Cat's don't seem to like orange or pepper oil;).

    NEVER ever use an amonia based cleaner though as that just spread's the toilet smell for the cat (as I learnt from bitter experience:eek:)

    Snaggles, where was he driving? If it was one of the GATSO cameras (especially on the stanningly bypas and that side of Leeds) there's a fairly good chance there'll be no repercussion as a lot do not work properly! Finger's crosed. Unless of course you've received it through the post in that case it worked!!!

    Anyhow, back to the doctors and their demands (of course I'll have 20 student doctors demanding things soonbut they'll have to wait their turn ;)).

    Hope those that are ill feel better, those who's children are on holiday can cope, those at work aren't overworked and those at home with children have fun (and I'f I'm missed anyone out I'm sorry).

    Cat.x

    PS - nothing to report either way!

    Cat, he's definitely going to get fined unfortunately because hes had a notice of impending prosecution (sounds scary :eek:). He doesn't think there are any speed cameras on the road where he got it, so it must have been a mobile one.

    It's his first speeding fine, but worryingly he's still in his probationary period at work.

    Maz - yes, new medal - do you like it? :D

    Hate to say it but he shouldn't have been speeding in the first place, but I'm hardly in a position to critiscise lol. Hopefully he'll learn from it and not speed again. (I know I did and soon as I saw Notice of Impending Prosecution written at the top of a letter!!!)
