Always thought the front of your house is classed as public that’s why people such as paperboy, postman milkman and so on can come to your door.

They have an implied right of access that you can rescind at any time - same as shops etc. Once you have stopped their right of implied access they are trespassing and you can use ‘such force as is reasonable in the circumstances’ to remove them from your property.
Unless you stick a post box on your gate, the post office will get arsey and deliver your mail back to the delivery office and expect you to pick it up there though

correct!
The latest traffic cops was a bit worrying, two birds went into a taxi office to get a cab, for some reason they didn’t manage to get one so she went to her car and drove home. The taxi office called plod and they went to her house, because the engine was warm and she was ■■■■■■ she got done for 22 months, and the copper had not even seen it happen.
Not sticking up for the bird, but the methods used were a bit dubious.

I watched a traffic cop program a few weeks ago. They had a report of someone coming out of a pub that was expected to drive away whilst ■■■■■■■
The police set up a sting a mile or two down the road. The copper was so proud of himself making the roads safer.
Wouldn’t it have been better to go to the pub car park to stop the bloke from driving away?
More a case of browny points than road safety.They do like to set people up. Even on camera.
fullist.co.uk/2014/02/police-off … -protests/Where would plod stand if he allowed drinking driver to drive? knowing that he was probably over the limit and said driver kills someone before plod stops him/her. He would surely be as guilty as the driver by omission, i.e. he didn’t take appropriate action to prevent the offence.
He’d probably get ridiculed by his colleagues…Jack his job in…And then get awarded almost half a million quid
Jaysus manys a night I horsed 4-6 cans into me in the lorry. Never drove but. I never thought that PC gobshit would b out looking for truckers have a few before going to bed for the night. Sure if that was the case wouldn’tthe sit outside ttruck stops with bars. Now at home here I think nothing if going to the local for 3-4 pints and driving home
not sure how it works with a dinner[i can only assume the food soaks it up]but i am sure alcohol stays in the bloodstream for 24 hrs

Having food slows the process down. Someone drinking say 4 pints on an empty stomach may show over the limit at the roadside. But under by the time they get to the station. Someone on a full stomach may show under at the roadside, but over an hour later.
Alcohol goes into the bloodstream quite quickly - within an hour or so of drinking, most of it will be in your blood rather than your belly. But the liver starts breaking it down pretty much straight away - usually at a steady rate of about one “unit” of alcohol per hour.
So if you drank three pints of ordinary beer (i.e. about 6 “units”) over the course of an hour or two and stopped drinking at 11pm, the level of alcohol in your bloodstream would peak around midnight. By 6am, most of it would have gone. Each additional pint would extend that time by a couple of hours (and of course, drinking a stronger beer would have the same effect).
Food can slow down the rate at which it is absorbed into the bloodstream (and so delay the peak level being reached and in doing so lower it slightly), but other variables (e.g. body mass, gender) as well as overall liver function, can significantly affect things. But you’d have to drink quite a lot for there to be significant levels in your bloodstream 24 hours later.
Everyone bricks it about the little things now as we have such a snitch, back stabing, jobsworth, litigation culture nowadays.

And this is why drivers have no respect. We’re all stereotyped as alcoholics that murder prostitutes on our 45.
