Will the 'Old Bill,' Bill Will and should Kate be Billed too as well as Will?

     IT stood out like a sore thumb; or were you blinded by the Gaudy Frivolity and failed to notice the plethora of  Ministry of Transport offences; namely, flagrantly and comptemptuously defying the Motor Vehicle seat belt laws , IE the wearing of such as supplied to a M O T Registered Motor vehicle.
    "Allo allo, may I see your licence sir," does not apply to those with blue blood so it seems. So the wearing of a seat belt will not attract a fine for the Royals and their retinue at Bill and Kate's nuptials last Friday, However, if you are a clever dick, and have been nicked recently for 'Not wearing a seat belt' It might pay you to instruct your ambulance chaser to plead not guilty on your behalf,  This does not mean you have to lie or prove you are of royal blood. But you must state you are impoverished compared to that of the  Royals who are flouting their own parliamentary laws, And that you will gladly pay your fine provided that, the Ministry of Transport can produce legally attested proof that those Royal Pikers have also paid their fine. Or you could send your fine to her majesty bless her, It has been said that she has a generous heart.

I recall in my Memoirs below.

While in Hong Kong, Rosemary would buy ice cream from the vendor

across the road. One day she was attempting to get back over the zebra

crossing but the traffic wouldn't stop. The ice cream was melting fast, so

Mary ran across. A taxi stopped suddenly and there was a huge pile-up.

The road was blocked for quite some time with several banged-up cars.

Many fingers pointed up to where we lived.

Our first car was a four square Jowett Javelin, but we later opted for a

Blue Ford Prefect XX511, which gave us two years of comfort and

enjoyment.

One beautiful sunny day, we caught the car ferry over to Kowloon

and drove to Castle Peak Bay, where I parked under a tree, the shadiest

spot available. As we were leaving, I was presented with a parking ticket.

It wasn't a huge amount. The following week when we arrived again, I

found the Governor General.s car parked in the exact same spot. I

approached the Chinese policeman who spoke English, and asked why

this car did not  have a ticket.

He replied, "Very important man".

I said, "So am I"..

".Your car not look as important as this car" he said.

I then took a picture of said oriental genius with the Governor General.s Very

Important car and sent it to the Hong Kong traffic people, along with a

note indicating that my money would be forthcoming when they had

provided proof that the Governor General had paid his fine.

Never heard from them.

Our XX511 Ford Prefect had never been in an accident in eighteen

months. After we sold it, however, it failed to stop after leaving from

high in the Peak and travelling fast down Garden road. It then pranged a

large green tram that was coming from Wan Chai and was subsequently written off.

 That sad incident occurred two days before our family flew

back to England. On hearing the news Rosemary said .What a shame; I really

loved that car.. I replied. ".Darling it must have loved us too, it just could

not live without us". By the way, the driver survived.
