Police priorities

Ladbroke Grove on a Saturday lunchtime and I passed six police in three groups of two on both sides of the road at the bottom of the hill near the junction with Holland Park Avenue. "Something big must be happening" I commented to Mrs NotaSheep; I was wrong. In fact the reason for all this activity became clear about 100 yards up the hill when I spotted the policeman with the radar gun. Yes on a busy Saturday afternoon only a mile from Notting Hill's vibrant street market the boys in blue decided that their top priority was to book any drivers whose speed managed to creep above 30mph. Meanwhile in the afore-mentioned market, I wonder how many people had their pockets picked or their bags snatched.
