This Morning 1534On Sat, 17 Dec 2005 20:08:44 UTC, Mark Foster Oddly enough, I have no particular "argument" here. Here's what seems to be the germane bit of the original posting: "I called...

An apology - offered politely enough - and accepted.Ê Filthette offered by way of explanation that "...until the scene is secured and all parties interviewed, all persons present are potentially suspects as are involved to a greater or lesser degree..." (whatever that might mean).
Filth stood there shuffling his feet and then ventured "Trust it's all settled now then?Ê No need to take it any further, like?"
I told them that I thought the matter was settled at the point that the Traffic Officer allowed me to leave and had no intention of taking it any further.Ê I added that I was surprised at both the 'phone call and their visit to me.Ê I was then given the "relations with the public" spiel from Plods' Guide To Plodding" and how they had got it wrong and off they plodded - and she then called, from the gate, "'old on a mo' Mr X, forgot something" and comes back and gives me a (small) box of Quality Street chocolates* and wishes me "'appy Season's Greetings".Ê Filth then came back up the path and said, "No 'ard feelin's, right?"Ê I confirmed that I am happy to let the matter rest.
