POLICE have fined a 54-year-old
British woman for riding
while intoxicated, after she was
found slumped over her mobility
scooter.
According to the UK Daily
Mirror, the woman claimed she
had stopped because her back
was sore, but it later emerged
that she had recently enjoyed a
rather extended liquid lunch at
her local pub.
“I wasn’t drunk,” insisted Tina
Morris, who refused to take a
breathalyser test.
“I only had two or three double
vodkas with my lunch. I was
having a fag because my back was
hurting,” she added.
CUSTOMS authorities in
Switzerland have managed quite
a haul, with the interception of
a shipment of more than one
million fake Xanax tablets.
Four crates of the medication
were en route from China to
Egypt and were apparently
quite difficult to recognise as
counterfeit medicines, with
genuine-looking packaging.
However testing by the
country’s medicines agency
Swissmedic “revealed that the
drugs, which are prescribed to
treat symptoms of acute anxiety,
contained no active ingredients
whatsoever”.
