Well after a long and uneventful drive back from the UK earlier today,yours truly got pulled over by the police just short of the services at Hospitalet.Except they weren't the police.2 dodgy looking Paki's (sorry,Political Correctness goes out of the window on this one) and an even worse looking Green Citroen Xantia.A rather flimsy ID card was waved at me and I was pointed to pull over into the services.To cut a long story short,they had no other forms of ID and started getting a bit stroppy when I insisted.They didn't get anything even after asking me to accompany them to a police station 2 hrs away,Yeah right.....
I agreed however to follow them,they then drove off,presumably to 'deal with me' somewhere else.I parked the car in the service area and reported them to the Mossos.
I asked the police when they arrived, if the have any unmarked cars,just in case,they said No and all coppers have uniforms.So be careful,they spoke good english but asked some pretty daft questions about credit cards,cash and passport.My car was English plated and had a GB sticker on.A veritable beacon to some chancer......
