Don't suck Fisherman's Friends and Drive!!!

[Burnham Lad]

Police in Germany are warning motorists that sucking a Fishermen's Friend could get them into trouble.

 

It comes after a 24-year-old driver was found to be over the legal drink-drive limit during a routine control in Munich.

 

He was taken to the police station where blood tests found he had no alcohol in his system.

 

The man was released after officers found the strongest thing he had taken was a Fisherman's Friend.

 

Forensic doctor Thomas Gilg said the essential oils contained in the throat sweets reacted in the same way as alcohol on hand-held breathalysers.

 

He said in tests they found just three of the mentholated sweets could cause a motorist to test three times over the legal limit.

Sucking a Fisherman's Friend and driving ?

 

I reckon you'd get six months for that in this country. Must be classed as gross indecency !

Trust you BJR - I managed to resist it!

Thank you BJR - I thought this one had not been spotted and was lost forever, but you have restored my faith in the good ol' British ability to spot the Double entendre..........

 

I hope the reporter at Ananda cringed afterwards!
