Is it true the Police dissapear after Ashford?

Guy I bought the GTI off Saturday was saying they seem to be non exsistant in Folkestone. When we broke down getting there, there was one Highways officer who said he was going to Folkestone then turning round. Saw him on the last bit of the journey there so quickly got on the road behind him and went all the way back and didn't see a single police car til Swanley.

Where all my moneys went.

Haha! Nah, my old man is the B plant manager and my whole family work down there unsurprisingly!

Ah fair enough, care to complain to them for me about two things?

1) Since we now have a hose pipe ban in place shortly, can they not reuse the heat of the power plant to refine sea water, like they do with cruise liners by using the heat of the generators, rather than giving free heat to the marine life when the sea life clearly refuse to pay for it via any means?

2) Can they allow tours/visits to the power station

Not a clue, I know the met and S/E traffic police turn around at the m25 junction along the A2, so you have a small area between dartford and the m25 which you will and can see both kent and met vehicles.

Pretty much...

1) Those damn freeloading marine dwellers! The sea water is used for cooling at the moment in a big loop, in one end, out the other slightly warmer.

Fortunately it never gets hot enough to actually refine the water.

2) They have done in the past but it's strictly no photography. There have been two people allowed to take in the past and they published their pictures in heavily edited books.

Tell me about them marine dwellers, sitting there nice and warm. wouldn't be surprised if they recieve JSA as well!

Any chance they will allow visiting in the near future or is it looking unlikely?

Why are you so bothered by the police?

If you do something wrong, you may get nicked, if you abide by the law, you won't.

FWIW: I have only been pulled once up near Dartford Crossing but never around the areas you're mentioning.

Problem with Kent is they have too much time, as in they will pull you up for a blown light followed by a 1hr investigation where as the met won't bother  :grin:

As I've said I've only ever been pulled once and that's it's all the cars I've owned
