Even worse is that there was no prosecution for the driving offences,

represents), never mind a ban (which is what he should have).

Another site reports this, so he may lose his job.

"We asked British Gas some specific questions about Smith, relating to
his possible interaction with the public through his job, his claims
about vandalism to his work vehicle and about the company's policy
regarding the conviction of its employees for offences of violence.



Don't be shy :

The site of course was www.road.cc - I wonder why you didn't say.

I suppose that by asking the question - they were hoping to influence
things.
