    While I think it's absolutely right that someone gets cautioned for driving in a cycle lane, why is this news in this country ?

    Oh yes, because she's a "celebrity" - followed by in-depth description of what she's wearing.

    I despair for the future of civilization :-(

    At least she got her wrist slapped... can anyone cite any instance of that happening in the UK? Thought not...

    So explain - I'm an old git - what exactly does Paris Hilton do ? (Apart from being named after an hotel)

    Bus lane yes, cyclelane no. :D

    Oh and I'd do more than slap her wrist. :twisted: Or is that wrong in the head? :lol:

    She has the same job as Tara Palmer-Tomkinson.

    Unless you have seen The video, then you would know she does most things

    Bus lane yes, cyclelane no. :D

    Only when it's caught by a camera though, there's no form of real policing going on.

    No. Real bobbies in a real car. I'm walking past a bus stop in city center and this kid in his first car gets pulled and flashed over. Early winter last year, kid gets out - no shirt on, so the copper starts doing other searches and checks. :wink:

    Ohhhhhh busted young man. You can't pretend not to know who she is and then make a joke about posh birds knowing each other.

    She's not, by the way. I wouldn't touch her with a bargepole. :)

    I knew she was posh and I know you sound posh so I put 2-and-2 together....
