[QUOTE="Johann Sebastian Bach, post: 3346731, member: 73231"] Salisbury Plain. Location of various rare ground-nesting birds. A road runs across the plain which has big warning notices about not stopping and it being MOD land. Salisbury Plain. Location of the British Army's tank firing grounds. So we decide to ignore the "[B][COLOR="Red"]DON'T STOP[/COLOR][/B]" signs and start looking through bins and scopes. Salisbury Plain. Location of two rather stupidly naive birders. So an unmarked 4x4 screeched to a stop beside us and the uniformed PC inside started chatting into his radio. We could hear him doing a registration check on our car. Salisbury Plain. Location of specially trained police and a large laboratory. He got out of his 4x4 and shouted at us in a very aggressive, commanding voice. He was the most "no nonsense" PC I've ever heard. GET..IN..YOUR..CAR..NOW..AND..LEAVE.. DON'T..EVER..STOP..HERE..AGAIN. Salisbury Plain. Location of armed Special Branch police and Porton Down (Biological and Chemical Warfare - allegedly). Peter :smoke: [/QUOTE]
