Manchester - Top of the League.

Many years ago, when computer printers were quite large and you only had one or two in a large area shared by many users, we had one sat outside a manager's office.

That manager didn't like large amounts of paper building up out there.

So he started to keep track of how much it was used and who was using it the most.

He would send out emails with the top users listed on them.

The main outcome of this was that everyone wanted to be top of the table so printed more.

This story reminded me of that.

Here are the Police Force areas with the fastest speeders in 2019:

A fine win for South Yorkshire there.

It will depend on the sort of roads you have in your area though - I don't imagine Dyfed-Powys will be troubling the scorer.  As it is, only 27 of the 45 Police Authorities actually took part in the competition.

And the title is a bit misleading given thatg only the winning score was over 160 mph.

In 2020 we had 3 over that mark and former champions South Yorkshire only just qualifying for the Champions League.

Covid obviously didn't have any impact - I assume there were no passengers in the cars though.

2021 saw an improvement from South Yorkshire missing out on the top spot by just 4 mph.
Then on 2022 they had a disaster but there was a very impressive performance from Kent.
Finally, because the final 2024 results are not in yet, we have 2023:
Manchester at the top - very disappointing for a Merseyside blogger like myself.

It might give Pep a boost though - he needs one at the moment.
