Phone a friend


Still 22nd May

I forgot to tell you about a little incident on the way to the airport with Betty
 
The driver apparently crossed a yellow line and he was pulled up by three policemen on motorbikes,
 
He clearly tried, unsuccessfully, to talk his way out of trouble but had to produce papers and he was taken to one side by the three policemen
 
Betty said he would be fined 200Yuan which is around £20 and he would be in trouble with his company
 
He spent several minutes on the phone out of our hearing and Betty told us that he was phoning some relations who knew one of the policemen. Maybe he can get off she said!!
 
He did!
 
We explained that this was very unlikely to be successful at home and you were more likely to be arrested if you even thought about doing it but she just said "it is like that here"
