An extra 0 should have been added to the fine.

Andy and Peter said he should have been fined £860,000.

I’m sure you three have had a good discussion on the subject.

What good would that have done Brian?

Andy is very against drinking and driving. A woman who was 3 times over the limit came through the side of our  car when he was in it and he could have been killed.
Andy and Peter are far more important than the car. The car was replaced but dogs or people can not be replaced.

but surely you replaced your last dogs?

Peter came when Dougal passed away. He did work hard to fill the hole which had been left but he never completely filled it. His owner had passed away.
Andy worked hard to replace our previous Andy. Andy came on the same day his owner passed away.
We got through our grief together but it took a long time.

It's a sobering thought that £86,000 is less than a weeks income for him.

There must be a theory somewhere that shows the bigger the moron, the bigger their wages.

It could be called the Rooney - McFartlin theory.

Green-Trump has a ring to it...In so many ways.

[crabbyob]

and at so many levels....lol

P.S. well answered Brian...

Brian won't answer this question because I doubt he has an answer.

[Scrumpy]

Brian,brian... Chill man.. Don't go through life putting a price on everyone's head.


You seem to sit in judgement of others..  Get a life man...

[crabbyob]

cash is irrelevant when you have so much of it..
i remember in the late sixties the Duke of Westminster was fined £5
for speeding, at that time he was the richest man in the UK
so that fine put him on the straight and narrow...

Does it matter what a man earns..?   At least the debt will be paid. 
If a person is in show business , sport, good with a brush or pen and can earn big money good luck to them.
I think jealousy rears it's ugly head at a time like this..

£86,000 is more than 2 years pension to me. Obviously a fine of that size would be devastating to me. I think the driving ban will hurt him a lot more than the money.
I realise I have more money than a some pensioners and I do donate a sizeable amount to Cruk and dogs trust. I do support Birmingham dogs home. Peter came from dogs trust. Only problem was he had been reserved on the same day he went in. He was the right doggy for us. I do give free advice to the homeless and that is ''Get a job''
