some years ago a guy bought 6 sofas at an auction, for a community centre or somesuch. later he was stopped on the M6 with all 6 sofas stacked one on top of the other, on the roof of his estate car.
round here, the level of driving naughtiness can be measured by whether the police let you drive away afterwards. sofa guy had to await being relieved by a friend with a pick-up truck.......
