Angry I've become Victor Meldrew...

Last night, several lads where racing around a multistorey car park opposite the back of my flat.

Two Novas and a Peugeot 106. At least one of them had a hole drilled in his exhaust (I very much doubt any self-respecting exhaust modding company would supply one than sounded so crap).

I could put up with the drone of the blown exhaust for most of the evening, but when I couldn't get to sleep because of the noise, I called the police.

12.20am this morning seemed a bit much to still be racing around a car park.

Within minutes of getting off the phone, a police car arrived and had a word. I've been critical of the police in the past, but hats off to Herts Police last night!

Apparently, these drivers can get their car seized and crushed if they don't heed warnings - a guy in Hemel got his car crushed for racing around in a multistorey there a few nights ago.

The people at work already joke that I'm a Victor Meldrew in training, now I've proved them right.

I don't believe it.

Someone had to - And it seems I'm the only person here at the moment
