i was listening to a couple of drivers at tesco p/bro,they were on about running out of time on a bay,driver one was saying it happened to him,he warned rdc but they took no notice,normal happened,coppers came out and told him to park there for 9 hrs and marked round his wheels with PINK chalk,they came back after 9 hrs, escorted him to rdc canteen and demanded they gave him breakfast,coffe etc for FREE.
other driver chipped in with the same thing happened to him,ran out of time,coppers came out and marked round his wheels with PINK chalk, but he said rdc managment wernt happy so after lots of talking with coppers ,the coppers asked him if it was o.k with him if they ESCORTED him to services, he said yes as hed rather stay at services than rdc, but wasnt it a bit unfair the rdc managment were getting there way[him off bay] when it was there fault he ran out of hours, copper say they might seem happy now, but wait untill they get the bill for £750 for escorting you to services.
1.why do coppers use PINK chalk to mark round your wheels,whats wrong with white,blue,green etc,it happened at 2 different rdc so there must be a reason
2.can coppers demand free meals for drivers[driver said he had a right slap up,made a pig of himself]
3.is it legal to ■■■■■■ you when youve run out of hours,what happens in the event of a accident,isnt £750 a bit steep as i dont think the way he said it the sevices was far away[fool if you ask me as he could of stayed for free on bay and had a slap up meal in morning courtesy of coppers
no this was last thurs night,about 7 p.m at tesco peteborough
I didn’t mean you were joking about it happening. I meant you are surely joking with these questions.
But just in case your not.

No. He didn’t, the driver is a total zoomer/bulb/trumpet/roaster.

£750 was just a figure he plucked from his ■■■ along with the rest of his story. No he couldn’t.
Ady, this is a long running driver’s myth and has so many holes in it you could drive an artic through it, well as long as you weren’t out of hours and stuck on a chalked off bay. They missed a couple of bits out of the usual version. 2/3/4/5/6 bays were coned off either side of them. The shunters and office staff were warned if they woke the driver up they would be arrested. They did add a bit of colour (no pun intended) to this version by specifying pink chalk, that’s a bit of a new twist.
Something else to note, unconnected but it may interest you, they have removed the word gullible from The Chambers Dictionary.
i have once run out of hours at Tesco Hinckley (Before i moved near there). Due to a demo,couldn’t get out along with about 5 other drivers, no coppers, no chalk, normal prices in canteen. parked up round back no probs.

Just think about what your saying or what your believing for that matter
im saying what they said, ive never run out of time on a bay yet but been close, the seemed genuine enough to me, if its never happened to yourself you can only go by whaat folks tell you/you overhear,as for believing, well if its never happened to yourself what can you do other than believe what folks tell you until it happens to you and you know different

At a guess, because they ran out of hours at tesco and went though all that pallava…they just missed “the Herald of free enterprise” on their trip back out
no this was last thurs night,about 7 p.m at tesco peteborough

i may be gullible but they seemed genuine enough chaps to me, as ive said unless youve run out on a bay[i havent], you can only believe/listen to driver who have.
are you saying coppers would ■■■■■■ him to services for nothing im sure theyd of charged something i cant see them doing it for nothing,£750 granted sounds alot, but who knows

They missed it because they were caught up in a tunnel fire having narrowly escaped from an exploding truck stop in Belgium. That coupled with with having to pin Gendarmes against the side of their trailer and disarm them meant they did indeed miss it despite being booked on.

There are probably thousands of drivers who have never run out of time on a bay and I’m sure the majority of them are not daft enough to believe this BS.

No, I’m saying the coppers were never there as the whole thing is a fabrication.

They were winding you up mate, looks like they succeeded to
As for the pink chalk:
There is a good reason why some coppers like anything pink, it goes well with the blue lights which someone once started a rumour about
They use pink chalk because it is not easy to get hold of. If they used white you could rub the marks out - go out and do a shed load of deliveries and be back on the bay 9 hours later with the chalk marks re-drawn when they came back to check. When I was delivering to Bettabuys in Weatherfield on 25th Jan 2010 they used tartan chalk, but that was VOSA not the Police.
I’ve sat in that place they call a waiting room in Peterboro and the amount of ■■■■■■■■ I’ve heard in there is untrue!!! Go upstairs fella and get yourself something to eat as long as you have one of those canteen cards
They missed a couple of bits out of the usual version. 2/3/4/5/6 bays were coned off either side of them. The shunters and office staff were warned if they woke the driver up they would be arrested.
