Title: 'Only Fools and Horses van' pulled over
Post by: eye30 on June 25, 2013, 17:10:58

The owner of an "Only Fools and Horses van" has said that Sussex Police officers who pulled him over had "a sense of humour failure".

Richard Foster was in Bognor Regis on his way to a wedding in the Reliant Regal, which is hired out for events, when he was pulled over by officers because an inflatable doll was peeking out from the window.

Sussex Police said the doll's "obvious attributes were not appropriate for family viewing".

I agree with the Police decision there.

It's not that realistic (I think it was a bit petty)

He'll be laughing all the way to the bank anyway (cheapest advertising he ever got!)  :razz:

It's good that's being kept abreast of the law though.

I think it is a shame really, I heard she was quite pumped about being able to look out the back window...
