Hi Mal
I'd also be more than happy to offer my services as a mentor - I might not have been the most prolific poster on this site, but I'd like to help some of the newer people find their way in what can at times be a daunting place. I've previous experience of Chat rooms, and as a single guy who's been on the scene for a good few years - I think I might be able to point some of my more "Over eager" colleagues in the right direction!
Look forward to hearing from you.

Looks like I won't be able to make this one after all - Shifts don't work out, and it's looking single male top heavy anyway - no need for me to add to it! I'm sure you won't even notice i'm not there! lol
sorry - but i'm sure there'll be plenty more opportunities!

As with everything - I'll give a very hearty disclaimer on this - but at the end of the day it's been used increasingly, and you really have nothing to loose
If the Registered keeper is not the driver, he should complete, sign and return the NIP naming the driver. Then, when the named driver subsequently receives their NIP, they may wish to use the following procedure.
However, if the Registered Keeper was driving at the time of the alleged offence, there is nothing preventing them from completing a similar witness statement.
It is advisable to write on the blank and uncompleted NIP/S172 notice only the following words: “Please see the attached†- then attach it to the following statement and return them both via Special Delivery.
WITNESS STATEMENT
(C.J. Act 1967, s9 MC Act 1980, ss. 5A (3a) and 5B. M.C. Rules 1981, r70)
Name:........................... Occupation:................
D.o.B:........................... Over 18

This statement consisting of 1 page and attached NIP/ S 172 Notice is true to the best of my knowledge and belief and I make it knowing that if it is tendered in evidence I shall be liable to prosecution if I have wilfully stated in it anything which I know to be false or do not believe to be true.
Dated....................... Signed................................

Dear Chief Constable,
Further to the above Notice of Intended Prosecution: I confirm that the following individual was driving the above vehicle at the time of the alleged motoring offence:
ALL OF THE DETAILS REQUIRED ON THE NIP – name, address, date of birth, driver number etc. etc.
As this statement is provided under threat of criminal penalty and as I have not received the caution required by paragraph 10.1 of PACE Code C 1 All E.R. 58], I make this statement on the express understanding that it shall not be used or disclosed in any proceedings of whatever nature against myself.
Yours sincerely,
Signature of driver
Name of Driver

cheers

I know I Haven't posted on the forum in Oh such a long time - but it's nice to be able to break cover on such a nice thread.
I'm sure i'm re-hashing a lot of what has already been said - but last nights munch was THE most enjoyable, and fun munch i've been to in a long, long time. Perfect venue, perfect mix, and level of people, and for the first time - I actually came away having talked to tons of new faces and names - that rarely happens these days.
So minxy - as i told you last night, and again this morning - Top work - you can safely say you have well and truly busted your munch organising cherry - and some!!! It was great to be able to actually chat this time, as opposed to the snatched conversation we had last time!
When are you getting mr minx to start posting - i reckon now he's come face to face with some of the nutters you chat to he'll fit right in!
Thanks also goes to the Essex Mafia ( tatty, and mr and mrs tigersgobounce) for being my travel mates and roomies - we're getting a bit good at this now aren't we?
So many other names and faces spring to mind - and i just know i'd forget someone - so i'll instead say thanks to all!
Alex - yet again you effortlessly filled the floor, and gave the essex birds something to dance round their handbags too! Top work, and a shame you were unable to stick around for after! Next time eh?
Thank you to the young lady who felt me up! lol Tell me i wasn't imagining!
And lastly, and at risk of death - Feklar - I'll only say one thing " I know this much is Truuuuueeeeeeeeeeeeeee!" lol
Put me down for Bristol munch 2 - you know it'll happen! lol

did you try hopping up and down on one leg tho feebee?
I know this will get locked - and that maybe the search button is supposed to be my friend - but have we actually been given any reason why the chatroom keeps dis-connecting us. i notice steve redirected everyone to a thread about this - but the link doesn't work, and searching is proving fruitless.
i've tried clearing my cache, refreshing pages, checking firewalls, hopping up and down on one leg with the other trouser leg rolled up, and none of them seem to work.
are the days of proper tech support gone, or have the site owners, in a rush, decided to implement a system they don't fully understand yet?

I'd take the membership figure with a Very heavy pinch of salt! It's not reflective of the true figure - But you gotta admit - It looks impressive doesn't it.
If i was to tell you that this time approximately 2 weeks ago we had somewhere in the region of 60k members - well i'll leave you to make your own minds up!

I couldn't help but notice that today seems to be THE day for threads being locked. I don't recal seeing so many padlocks on threads since i joined.
