TcV His Life In Pieces

A few Saturdays ago, I was in South Shields shopping. On King Street, the main shopping street is South Shields, has been pedestrianised for years.

A panda car passed me and parked about half way down the street. A police officer left the car and went into the 02 shop. This is most irregular; I thought that there was bother in the O2 shop necessitating a police presence.

Partly being nosy and partly because I wanted to look for a new phone; I went in the shop. Inside the copper was just sitting with one of the assistants.

On leaving the shop I noticed that the police car was one of those Astras with a Panoramic windscreen. This is an optional extra that comes at a premium.

For an extra £850, the Panoramic screen is available as an option on the Astra Sport Hatch range.

However on these police cars they've painted this extra bit of windscreen white and on that painted the car number.
