Not me... some guy I read in the local news today.

I would think he's thankful at a 45 day ban and £270 costs.

He must have a pretty damned good lawyer! Lucky he's not doing time!

Hey don't take the p ss we take Lawnmower racing seriously down here in the depths of Devon, and it's going from strength to strength.

and they're getting faster https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uzv4NWmFtkA

Funny to watch, and knowing that if they do flip they will hurt themselves it makes for more interesting viewing than F1

Seriously if you like a cider fuelled day out at the races. And i've been reliably informed it's getting popular all round the country.

And yeah matey is a very lucky matey

Well it sounds more fun than our local annual traditions.

Round these parts, our idea of fun is tossing congealed pigs blood at Yorkshire puddings:

It does occasionally attract the odd celebrity though:

At first i thought they were trying to get the black puddings caught in the Yorkshire's. I want a go. Good ol Paddy

I think stuff like that is great, regional traditions. Hang on we're missing something here, this should be a separate thread... goes to start separate thread.
