Get off your high horse!

Are all men in uniforms pompous gits?

I have just been told off by a policeman on a horse.
It was my youngest son's 29th birthday today and his choice was to go to the new sushi bar in town. I picked his friend up on route and arranged to meet Oliver and co there. No problem. I had just pulled up in the disabled bays near the restaurant next to two policemen on horses, when one of them moved his horse right next to my car door. Now I am very nervous of horses, so I got out very gingerly only to be told off for having my fog lights on.
'I'm sorry officer, I must have caught the switch accidentally' I told him very apologetically, but he went on and on about depending on his mood, it could be a £30 fine. Once again I apologised and was told it wasn't enough to say I had done it accidentally as I should be in control of my car and I could have been driving with no lights on with that excuse.
Now I am sorry, but I think even I might have noticed that and as for dazzling on coming cars, it may have escaped his notice, but we were in a one way street. It was a harmless mistake.

So is a genuine sorry not worth anything anymore? If I knew my fog lights were on, does he really think I'd have parked right next to his horse? So why try and make me feel small and try and scare me with the 'depending what mood I'm in whether I fine you or not'. If I've done a crime then fine me knob head, not try and make yourself look big in front of your steed! Maybe it was a case the horse being an extension of his penis syndrome?

Anyway the sushi bar was a great success and we all had a jolly good time. So happy birthday Oliver... love you lots baby xxxxxxxxxxxx
