It is rare for anyone from our little neck of the woods to appear in Sheriff Kevin's court and Huttonian, in Norn Iron, would have missed this little tale if it had not been for the efforts of a fellow Borders Blogger at the Paper Shop.C http://www.hunnymonster.org.uk/ )

"A Paxton man took his wife and children to the pub and drove home afterwards, hit a hedge, tipped the car over and the occupants all climbed out and walked to the nearest house. The householder suspected drink was involved so called the Police and the driver was taken into custody. It transpires that he was driving without a licence, so also with invalid (but legitimate) insurance whilst unfit through drink - £450 fine and 12 month ban."

No one Huttonian knows. I think. Mind you there have been so many road accidents aroundPaxtonn in recent months that many of our 'householders' have been getting increasingly up in arms. Moral: Drink and Drive if you feel you must but do it some where else-not in our back yard otherwise we'll put the Fuzz on to you and you can take your chance with Sheriff Kevin.

Moral Two: go to the Cross Inn. Walk. (Note to Paxton drinkers: itsin Paxtonn)
