Tank Slap - Motorcycle Forum

Despite speculation he's not dead, simply retiring from public duties.

I guess he'll have to do all of his casual racism in private now.

I met him once, at Holker Hall.

Well when I said met him, what I actually meant is he shouted "Bagger orf, out of the way" at me and I gave him the finger.

Now I like him even more.

Lolz!!

LOL

I have met him on many occasions (along with most of the Royal Family) and in most cases he alway made me chuckle.

But I used to dread his callsign coming up on the radio. If he saw someone who he thought was a drink driver he would radio it in and we would have to go charging to the opposite end of the Motorway for what invariably just turned out to be a tired driver.

He meant well, but it was a pain sometimes.

I will miss him though.

I'm not sure you should have given him his own radio

Wouldn't he have a driver/bodyguard....someone who could tell him to shut the fcuk up??

I wouldn't have given him the keys to the vending machine!

I like that.

He used to regularly drive himself with his protection officer alongsise in the passenger seat.

The 2 of them came across a crash on the M4 one night which I had to attend and I got talking to hos protection officer and I made the very point abot getting him to stay quiet.

Apparently it was tried. The protection officer was told to "Shut the f*ck up" literally and so the subject was never raised again

Back in the day, Philip had a Scimitar (which I remember was a nice car and something I always hankered after despite being a Reliant) and it was his toy which is why he was often driving rather than hos protection officer.
