I work in a garage and we had the police in the other day they said petrol thefts will be on the up because of the fuel prices, but he said the way they are doing it is robbing number plates of cars, vans and putting them on there cars so the innocent person who's plates got stolen only realise when the police come knocking for doing a drive off, you would have to have a good alibie.
Most garages including ours has ANPR.

Don't be silly. The chances of the cars being even vaguely the same are remote. Thieves don't bother looking for an identical car. Oh - and the chances of the police taking any action at all are even more remote.
Typos and punctuation corrected. I think.

Well, not for theft of petrol. However, it is common for other offences such as ringing. They may then be tempted to use this perceived anonymity to steal petrol. It also helps the criminal if he/she runs through an ANPR camera.
In today's political climate, that is probably all too true.
Well you really did pick a suitable name didn't you, you little dick shaker. Now go and stick all the pages together in one English literature collection.
Christ is this country really full of sad old pompus gits with nothing better to do than correct grammatical errors

"Zozzer" gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying:
Personally, I'd be ashamed of being functionally illiterate.
Still, I s'pose being so proud of it is probably an easier way to address the problem than actually learning the basics of the English language.

To the sound of petards:
It's spelt 'pompous'.
And it's "whose" not "who's" in that context.
Listen ballbag, had I wanted to learn English I would have applied for political asylum. I spell things how I want to, because I know the Queen's English, and as it happens, her husband is a Greek.
Indeed..I thought she was German.

No he isn't. His ancestry is German and Danish.
No. Her ancestors were but she's English.
You can't change ethnicity just like that. Ethnicity is inherited.
Ooooh, excellent.
That means I'm no longer English, but am in fact a Viking, Porrige Wog, Bog-trotting Taff - at best.
That means all the English are living in Wales & Scotland.
Who is that then? I thought the pitcher people were wiped out, and we are generally spanish (celts), german (angles and saxons), scandanavian (vickings) or italian (romans).
No. Many English fled to Wales to escape the invading hoardes.
Quite possibly!
Most of the English have left the UK.
lately it appears that all the intelligent ones left some time ago.
I can't wait to join them, although I suspect it'll f*ck up their party.
Canada, Australia, South Effrica and New Zealand are apparently the places to go.
