Mobility scooter owner banned from driving after crashing into shop window
26 Jul 2012

Able-bodied Darren Wells, 37, paid £50 for the vehicle because he couldn't afford to run a car, magistrates at Croydon, south London, heard. But when he took the scooter to a shop near his home, he accidentally put it into reverse rather than forward.

Wells, an alcoholic, had been at a friend's funeral wake the night before and had woken up a little worse for wear. He told the court that he decided rather than walk to the shop, he would take the mobility scooter. Wells, of Wallington, said: "I thought it would be faster to take the scooter. It wasn't." Asked what speed the scooter was capable of, Wells told the court: "Well it ain't ready for the Grand Prix yet."

Wells arrived at the shop, but after mistaking the reverse gear for the forward gear, he ploughed into the shop's window. He told the court: "I offered to pay him there and then, but he said he needed a crime reference number for his insurance. So I got nicked."

The case hinged on whether or not a mobility scooter was classed as mechanically propelled under the Road Traffic Act, and if Wells qualified for one under the Chronically Sick and Disabled Persons Act. Wells had only bought the scooter from a friend for £50 because he "couldn't afford to maintain a car," he court heard

Father-of-three Wells faced jail after breaching a 12-month suspended sentence for assaulting a police officer, but magistrates said it "would not be in his interest to send him to prison." Chairwoman of the bench, Mrs Angela Glancy, told Wells: "We are satisfied the scooter was not being used in accordance with legislation. If you are caught driving, including the mobility scooter, you will go to prison."

Wells has been disqualified from driving for 17 months provided he undertakes a drink driving awareness programme as well as being ordered to pay £200 in compensation to the shop owner on top of a £150 fine, £50 in costs and a £15 victim surcharge. At an earlier hearing Wells pleaded guilty to criminal damage for the window for which he was fined £110.

John Wark puzzle
Martin B. Kelner
Durability: 5.0 out of 5 stars Educational: 3.0 out of 5 stars Fun: 3.0 out of 5 stars

It's so hard these days to find the ideal Christmas gift for your child, the one that will have them looking up at you with that unforgettable child-like mixture of joy, wonder, and almost ineffable gratitude, giving you the kind of memory to sustain you through the chilly years of old age and decline. Too often at times of celebration we parents go for the easy option and buy the child a new iPhone 5, a play station, or some other electronic gewgaw, and after a perfunctory thank-you, the moment has gone.

But imagine the magical moment if your child were to open his or her parcel on Christmas morning and find 300 finely crafted pieces of jigsaw puzzle which, when correctly configured, give you a 43 x 30 cm portrait of none other than Ipswich, Liverpool, and Middlesbrough legend John Wark? "It's John Wark!" the excited cry will go up. "Look aunty, uncle, grannie, it's box-to-box midfield dynamo, a player with a tremendous scoring record for a midfielder, John Wark! John Wark himself, moustache and all."

But this is the gift that keeps on giving. Not only is the Scotland international and Escape To Victory star pictured with the 1981 UEFA Cup, half naked - that's John, not the UEFA Cup - but his torso-bared likeness can be handsomely mounted on a black board, which is included in this unique once-in-a-lifetime presentation pack.

"Bagged on a black board," reads the product description, but that's not the half of it. It comes in a re-sealable bag (I know I do) which means it can not only bring joy and excitement at home as the family joins together round the hearth to recreate the image of Ipswich's finest ever player, but doubles as a travel activity, making those Transatlatic flights, intercontinental rail trips and so on, just fly by.

Just one minor quibble. You will note I have given this product just the four-star rating instead of five, and that is simply because there is as yet no jigsaw puzzle of either Eric Gates or Brian Talbot, and that remains a disappointment to those of us who have completed the image of John Wark, and now crave, with what popsters Duran Duran described as the hunger of the wolf, yet more 1980s-Ipswich-player-puzzle-related fun!

Tulisa
she hasnt had a very good week at all that is right it is the rap pop singer who knows all of the drug smugglers and her name is called tulisa contostavanatacalatancalatoz. when i was having a look at the newspapers in the shop 2 days ago i saw that she has got herself in to some really big trouble because she has been helping lots of people to get some drugs for themselfs but she said that she doesnt take any of the drugs for herself because she doesnt want to ruin her own life and she just prefers to help other people ruin their own lifes instead because it is a lot less hassle for her and i think that if she wants to get out of the mess that she is in then she just needs to stop being friends with so many drug smugglers and i think that she just needs to get back to what she does best and that is working in schuh in town because when i used to see her in there before she was famous she always looked so happy and she didnt care about what anyone thought about her and she didnt mind if people thought she was cool or fashionable or hip or hop and all she cared about was helping people find the right pair of shoes but now all she cares about is helping people find the right pair of drugs and i think that she would make a lot of people happier if she wasnt a rap pop singer any more because her song wasnt very good anyway so if she can just get her old job back in schuh then the world will be a much better place and it will be filled with a lot less rubbish music and a lot less rubbish drugs and i think that everything and everyone will just be a lot more happier if tulisa contostavanatacalatancalatoz worked back in schuh so she cant ruin any more peoples lifes than she already has.
