@HighwaysEAST I don’t know how our roads can be so bad
I recently drove to
France 🇫🇷
Belgium 🇧🇪
Germany 🇩🇪
Austria 🇦🇹
And the roads are perfect
Our roads are a disgrace and an embarrassment

@GeoffBuysCars In these situations where exit slip roads has traffic lights at the top and you sit at the red light and nothing is coming round, should have officers directing the traffic

What happens when a police officer gets the law completely wrong?

In this video, a UK police sergeant is seen threatening to arrest a driver at a petrol station pump. The issue? The driver filled his car with £60 of diesel and attempted to pay using a genuine, Royal Mint-issued £100 silver commemorative coin. The supermarket staff refused to accept the coin and called the police, leading to the dramatic stand-off caught on camera.

Is it legal? Here is the actual law:
The answer is both yes and no, depending on who you look at:

Could the shop refuse the coin? Generally, yes. While the coin is technically "legal tender" under the Coinage Act 1971, contract law allows a private business to decide which payment methods they prefer. However, because the fuel was already inside the car, a debt had been created. Legally, a business cannot "pick and choose" payment methods after the fact unless they clearly state their exclusions on the pump before you fill up.

Was it a criminal offence? Absolutely NOT. The officer arrested the driver for "Making Off Without Payment" (Theft Act 1978). To commit this crime, a person must dishonestly run away to avoid paying the bill. The driver wasn't running, hiding, or acting dishonestly—he was standing right there actively trying to hand over cash worth more than the fuel!

The Result: Because the police treated a civil contract dispute as a criminal theft, the arrest was entirely unlawful. The driver later took legal action against the police force, winning a formal apology and a £5,000 settlement.

@beverleyturner @Uber Their business plan was to be so cheap, they put minicab firms out of business
When they have the monopoly and not much competition , they would put the fares up like this

@Cnllrlly @richardajkeys Moyes was offered a poor contract
That’s why he said he would think about it
Then West Ham lost a few games
And Sullivan withdrew the contract offer
Plus Moyes wanted to go back up north

@millwalljdb Even if we stay up, will have to sell players to balance the books as somehow we have lost £100 million
Time to sell up Sullivan
You have had 10 years
And he is running the club into the ground
