News about Willie Dixon

The North London Naughty Boys held our annual summer lunch at a pub off the M25 last week. A jolly affair it was, too. Conversation turned to speed awareness courses, the subject of a recent column in the Mail by Tom Utley. A quick show of hands and the vote was unanimous. In the past 18 months all five of us had been caught 'speeding' and had opted for a couple of hours in a classroom rather than points on our licences. I put 'speeding' in quotes because there was no suggestion that any of us had been driving dangerously.
