Took the 101 out today for its first journey other than to and fro from the MOT and got pulled over just after leaving B&Q (needed to feed my hammerite habit).
First question: "What the hell is it?!" :)
Turned out that my new road tax hadnt got through the system yet (MOT had) and i had a brake light out.
..and i thought that the local constabulary were supposed to be well educated about 101's! :D

Clearly not a member of my shift... they were used to seeing Morph parked up in the Ch. Supt's bay on Nights :-)

I was in talke, so could have been the kidsgrove office i guess?
I did consider asking them if they were from newcastle and if so then how had he managed to miss seeing morph in the car park, but i had no idea what your proper title is!
Also - whenever i'm pulled they always get my name wrong.. is this deliberate to make me correct it? or because the records are wrong somewhere?

Kidsgrove / Newcastle filling in for missing Kidsgrove staff.
I work out of Hanley but cover the whole of SOT Division :-) , I like to blend in when at home i.e. off the patch.
Dunno... they have something funny in the water that way.

When I bought the Rangie the 'dealer' (very small) delivered it with 'no tax'. So it sat on the yard while I wandered into the office next day and did the decent thing. That evening I thought I'd take it out as I had something I wanted to do and about 6 miles later I got pulled. The camera on the car had read the plate, checked with the DVLC and the computer told them to stop me.
I told my tale, he didn't even check my new tax disk just looked up my insurance on the computer and when he found it (NU) he was happy. A quick breathalise, like everybody seems to get in Brighton, and he left.
