Non-story much?

A Kensington and Chelsea spokeswoman said: "Council enforcement officers and police colleagues patrolled the PSPO area at various times following the launch and no breaches were observed by either the council or police.

"We also received no complaints from the general public.

Arabic isn't a foul language.

Ouch.

That restaurant is in Blenheim Street, which is tiny--must have been terrifying to those around.

“When you see a beautiful woman in the street you want to ask for a photograph with her. If your friend has a Lamborghini and lets you sit in it, it’s the same and you will do it. It was a very beautiful car but I just couldn’t handle it.”

Sounds like a great guy!

A reasonably, but not hugely expensive car:

"The YouTuber who filmed it, Tequila Samba..."

Not sure if real name or youtube name.

He did get away fairly lightly in court, probably helped that Chewbacca was his defence attorney.

Better than if he had done it solo.

Yeah, and I bet those fines really hurt sheik twatface.

I accidentally rode through Knightsbridge yesterday, going through the arse bleedingly expensive Eaton Square too. The whole place is a dump, really. Really busy roads, no space or light, no shops that make any sense at all, and loads of gigantic twatty cars parked everywhere. The only green space you've got is the Royal Parks, and they're chock full of people taking pictures of pigeons. If people want to spend £55m on a gilded gin palace full of your grandmother's furniture, they're welcome to it.http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-37662774.html

An Audi and a Mercedes. I get that they're 'affordable' luxury cars but does it really warrant a news story?

I bet my Vectra wouldn't warrant a newsstory. Maybe I should go crash it in Sloane Square. Its not far from here. Has anyone else got a car worse than mine that I can crash into? Should be a laugh.

That's a good one. Also, the woman who took the picture calls herself Klo, which means 'loo' in German.

My buddy owns the brand 'Revere'.....CSB....
