    I've had the misfortune of being in Tesco Lakeside's car park when a group of - I don't know what to call them - kids with cars has met there. They rev their engines and play the most godawful music (although I use music in the loosest possible sense) very loudly. They're a bloody nuisance.

    To all of you saying "why shouldn't we" I'll throw this back at you - why SHOULD you? If you're that keen to meet and discuss the size of your woofers and tweeters, or tyres, or exhausts, why don't you form a club, buy your own land and meet there. Then there would be no need for the police, on MY tax dollar, keeping an eye on you. And the general public wouldn't feel intimidated popping to Tescos for a pint of milk.

    I'd like Andy to explain to me exactly what part of Insp. Adams' he finds "strange" and/or "worrying". Is it the fact he is concerned about previous incidents where people have been injured? Or is where he says the police "will take all possible action against anyone driving dangerously"? Or maybe it's that the police will provide "a visible presence ensuring anybody in the area has a safe and legal evening". Yeah, Andy, that's really sinister...the police wanting people to act safely and within the law, what an absolute shocker.
    I think you'll find the currency in the United Kingdom is the pound.
    Yeah thanks for clearing that up, I clearly had no idea that the money in my purse is £ not $. Clearly you are far more intellectual than me, congrats! Have you any comment to make on the actual issue that is being discussed here?"

Police tell cruisers 'dont' bother turning up'

CRUISERS, looking to head to Lakeside this weekend, are being told not to bother turning up by police.

Boy racers are understood to be attempting to use the internet to organise a gathering at the Thurrock shopping centre on Saturday night.

But police have cottoned on to the plans and are warning cruisers not to come.

Insp Tony Adams said: "Unfortunately in Essex, we have seen incidents where people have suffered life changing injuries or lost their lives as a result of road collisions during such events.

"Police will be there in numbers, and we will take all possible action against anyone driving dangerously.

"We will be engaging with members of the public at Lakeside and providing a visible presence ensuring anybody in the area has a safe and legal evening."

Police will be patrolling the area in marked and unmarked cars and will also have evidence gatherers filming any meet.
