Ribble Valley over-limit chef refused blood test
11:00pm Friday 21st September 2012 in News
A RIBBLE Valley chef who narrowly failed a breathalyser declined the chance of giving blood because he said he ‘wasn’t trying to get out of it’.
Blackburn magistrates heard Leighton James Knowles gave a reading of 45 against the legal limit of 35.
And Liz Parker, defending, said if he had availed himself of the opportunity to give blood he may well have been under the limit.
“That would have been my advice to him but as you have heard he was totally co-operative and straightforward with the police,” she said.
Knowles, of Whalley Road, Clitheroe, pleaded guilty to driving with excess alcohol. He was given a conditional discharge for 18 months, banned for 12 months and ordered to pay £85 costs.
Mrs Parker said Knowles, trained by celebrity chef Andrew Nutter in Rochdale, works at the Spread Eagle, Sawley. “He has sold his car and cycles to work,” she said.

This website is going down the pan rapidly. You could make so much more of it. Get your act together or I'm off. I'll get my local news somewhere else.

Maybe a discount or even a VIP treatment awaits for readers comments, not to mention the main in article, to engage in lenghty discussions away from mentioning chef sup'.
There's me reading the news and out of the blue, it pops up. Drives me ballistic!

It cost me my licence but at the end of the day, I had been drinking and It set me for a new way of thinking, Now I will not drive even if I have had the smallest drink. That was 30 years ago and still no matter what I don't care who begs me if I have touched one drop I'm NOT driving.
The headline makes this story sound like the chef was being uncooperative when really, he was NOT trying to wriggle out of the law! 'Refuse' in any headline is sensationalist and in this case the guilty person conceded to his moral responsibilities and sucked it up! (10 units over is hardly borderline but you have to respect the guy for not wasting anymore time and money).

Does anyone know how to operate a basic computer. To be honest when I first went to purcshaed mine, the vendor did say it comes with a full package, i.e. anti virus I said don't want it, spy ware I said I don't want it, phising protection I said don't want it, spam protection I said don't want it, internet protection Mozilla, Firefox, Flock, No script, I said give me a f***** break HOW MUCH IS IT?, he said half the price, I said I'll take it.
Now look where it's got me. Knackered!

Microsoft Security Essentials anti virus or maybe you might like Avast
First thing to do is stop using Internet Explorer and use Chrome or Firefox
If you need to know anything Google it, the answer is always just a search away. Join a few technical forums and get learning. :)
