Does anyone else have a micro-chip in their passport? My old one didn't but it's replacement has. When I passed through customs they scanned it in.

mine does,t might be some new measure to sniff out fakes..?

Yes, I had a new passport in January and it has a mircochip thingy.

I've logged onto Twitter for the first time in months

We have SO many unmarked Police cars around at the moment. There's always been a silver mercedes around, with blue leds fitted behind the front grille.

Around March time I was surprised when a dark grey BMW 1 series started flashing blue lights - I've seen that one a lot lately.

Anyway today, a big silver VW 4x4 (taureg?) steamed passed me, blue lights and headlights flashing followed by... get this... a dark blue mitsubishi pick up!?!

Ive seen a few douchebags with blue lights behind the grille. and none of them were 5-0 from what i could see, or do the police wear abercrombie and fitch sweaters and flat caps these days?

This is true anyone can buy blue lights, I caught a glimpse of them in my mirror about a year ago, didn't bother pulling over as they were mounted in the top corners of the windscreen of a... Mk1 punto, burgundy

there was a story about a young lady who got blue lighted, by an unmarked car, so she pulled over, she got raped i believe, and her car nicked i think....

apparently after being told this, that if your ever unsure, there is an number you ring, or text, and they tell you if itsa genuine, or not. and apparently if your ever in doubt you shouldnt stop if its unmarked, so personally id drive to a police station..

sam where abouts where they? i dont think chichester has many undercover, the only ones ive seen are corsa's

Ironically James, the flew passed me on the oposite side of the carriageway, eastbound near the Tnagmere roundabout, a few cars behind them was a red/white D*lly - it wasnt you I'm guessing.

Skoda Octavia vRS is favourite of West Mercia police.
