Only Fools and Horses van: police fail to see the funny side Only Fools and Horses van: police fail to see the funny side
(3 months later)
A slightly overenthusiastic fan of David Jason's character Del Boy has landed in a spot of bovver with the law. Richard Foster owns a replica of the three-wheeler van made famous by Only Fools and Horses. The Sun reports that the van has an inflatable blonde doll in the back, a tribute to a classic episode of the BBC show, but Foster found himself threatened with a penalty notice after police ruled it "offensive". A Sussex police spokesman said: "The officer felt its obvious attributes were not appropriate for family viewing." Foster needs to have a chat with Noel Edmonds, who has a dummy called Candice in his black taxi to avoid people hailing him down, for how to stylishly dress your mannequin.A slightly overenthusiastic fan of David Jason's character Del Boy has landed in a spot of bovver with the law.
