Wild police chase to take down driver with £500k of cocaine

I really like this spelling, particularly because it bolsters the argument for the proper way to pronounce GIF. :smiley:

I used to have an i8 - got a great deal on it when BMW decided they were flops. Great car! The right car to transport drugs? Not even a little - (1) it’s too flashy - get a Civic or something, (2) the performance does not quite live up to the looks even if you plan to get in chases like this bozo, and (3) cargo space is extremely limited.

Love this and had forgotten where I saw it first

The best part is the beginning: “Really??” LOL

Must be a 2-man police team. I can’t imagine driving that way and still maintaining the composure of the radio reports.

The point being that he is driving on the wrong side of the road and could collide with a vehicle driving in the opposite direction.

Think it might just be the one. Training over here’s very much around stay calm, and give information to the control room.

They all do over there.

My big surprise, as a Yank, was that the sirens don’t go “dee-dah-dee-dah” the way they do in every British-set movie and TV show that I’ve ever seen–they sound just like American police sirens. When did that change?

I some parts of Britain since sometime in the 1980ies - but this varies from region to region, with, of course, the Met doing everything in their own special ways on principle.

If it was exactly that value and in a sealed package, I believe that’s what they’re calling a Brexit of cocaine.

If “graphical” were pronounced “jraphical” then the pronunciation of “gif” as “jif” might be excusable. But nobody in the world pronounces “graphical” with a soft “g”. :wink:

Yes, “Birmingham Jail” will teach you to mispronounce “Birmingham” and mis-spell “gaol”.
