Begorrah!

212man, you did, & you didn't.
You said that TRE etc could sign, but didn't say non UK licence "may" be acceptable. . . . but don't worry, some of them employed at the end of the phone in Belgrano didn't know either :ugh:


Finally, some good news on the power of pprune. . . . 19days! later I got an email today confirming that yes indeed the Irish speak English too, and that an Irish TRE was acceptable for the purpose. Mere coincidence ? or this thread has been drawn to their (shamed) eyes ?

They said to email/fax the 1199 and they would furnish a covering letter, no request for money ? shome mishtake shurely ? :rolleyes:

So, a bottle of something intoxicating should be the total cost then ;)

That is not true. Citizens may still detain people under certain circumstances as follows (cut & paste from CPS document):

Members of the public (other than constables) may now only arrest for "indictable" offences.

There are 2 conditions which apply:-

• That there are reasonable grounds to believe the arrest is necessary for a reason specified and
• It is not reasonably practical for a constable to make the arrest

(Thread creep - sorry)
