That's nice.

I was on the M62 today, en route to dropping someone off in bolton, and just
west of manchester I overtook a police range rover, noticed a police
persuit car in a rather well hidden layby, then on the way back, again on
the 62, we had another persuit car, this time on the inside lane, and a
range rover on a bridge, possibly with a camera.

This is fast flowing light traffic, that slowed and bunched dangerously
whenever the police cars where about.


Saw a good 10-15 coppers of various forms in North Wales, on my way to Rhyl
too. They're like bloody wasps, as soon as it gets warm there's bloody
swarms of them. I have never seen so many coppers in one day.

Is something special going on or something?
