They said he had been in the car with his two young children and claimed bread in London was £1 cheaper.

Should have crushed his car into a cube.

They could never proof it.

OK sure he is telling a load of porkies, but what is an acceptable distance to drive to get your essential food supplies? I would have thought that once you are in your motor and the doors are closed you are not really a bio hazard to anyone. Say you are a rich fecker and want to shop at Waitrose, would it be acceptable to drive past Tesco, Asda, Morrisons etc., to go and buy your favourite variety of bread?

No one has this answer.

It's a good question mind.

They wouldn’t knead to.

 

[Arkle]

Always a possibility if you travel in a yeastward direction.

The worlds most conspicuous weed run obv.

 

[Mainze]

Going against the grain a bit.

 

[S.S.R..]

Did he pass Towcester on the way?

 

[Shandy drinker]

I'm sure a common sense approach can be taken. You're allowed to visit takeaways, same rule could apply that you pass others to go to your favourite.

As long as your favoured shop / takeaway is say, within 20 mins I can't imagine that would be a problem.

Think my nearest Waitrose is about 40 mins away so I'll not be visiting

Bet he was brown bread when he got home

 

[Mr Redknapp]

Hope he had clean bloomers on.

[Deleted member 361]

brilliant excuse though. cant believe he could say it with a straight face

110mph though, has to be a big punishment , unless he is minted and has a good lawyer

 

[Patch]

Well I just hope his mother is proud of him.

 

[Wise Man Says]

I bet he looks like butter wouldn’t melt.
