Membership

One of our members was driving home from the pub one night when he was stopped for speeding. "You were doing 40mph in a 30mph zone," said the officer. "Oh no, you're wrong," said the driver. "I assure you, Sir, that our instruments are very accurate and that you were driving much too fast." At this point his wife leant across and said, "it's no good arguing with him when he's had a drink."
