King of the road or king for a day

Today we offered you a cautionary tale

What do you do when you get a craving for a juicy burger on the drive home from work?

You pull into your nearest takeaway joint in the comfort of your own car and go through the drive-thru of course.

Thanks to the wonders of modern technology, you can even pay for it with just one easy tap of your mobile phone.

But did you know that unless you turn off the engine when using a contactless mobile phone you could be liable to  a £1000 fine plus 6 points on your licence?

A poll of 1,000 drivers by Select Car Leasing found that 71% confessed to using their phone to pay for fast food at a drive-thru.

So be warned.

We also reported on the US citizen who claims to be the rightful heir to the British Crown.

Yes, Allan V Evans from Colorado has even taken out ads in THE TIMES proclaiming that he is the rightful King of England.

In the ad, he reveals in great detail why it is his birth right to ascend the throne after the death of Her Majesty.

As a direct descendant of ‘unbroken primogeniture line legally documented since the 3rd century in Great Britain and registered in the Royal College of Arms’, Evans presents details of what he claims to be his legal right to the British throne.

Thoughtfully he has promised to wait for the Queen’s death before pursuing his claim.

However it seems that this might not be the first time he has attempted to pursue rather far-fetched claims, as a man called Evans, also from Colorado attempted to claim a 400-acre piece of land in Twiggs county, Georgia, claiming that it belonged to his ancestors though evidence of their ownership was destroyed in a country courthouse fire in 1901.

Well good luck to that then!

I’ll see you again next week,
