Do not go gentle…

Seen in The Times this morning!

A retired university lecturer was arrested by six police officers in his back garden for baring his bottom at a speed camera, an act he said was on his “bucket list” of things to do before he died.

Darrell Meekcom, 55, drew up the list at his wife’s suggestion after being told last month that he had multiple system atrophy. He also has Parkinson’s Disease, heart disease and failing kidneys.

He was later released from custody on suspicion of indecent exposure and dangerous driving as he left the scene of the camera van. West Mercia police said: “Inquiries are ongoing.”

Just fantastic! I'd love to see the rest of his "bucket list" maybe the folks at MSAT can get it for the next MSAT News!

I think that is fabulous. Good for him. I don’t think it would have been in my husband’s bucket list, but it is funny
