…or phone up Saturday kitchen, say you want to ask about a recipe for venison or something, and when you get through say
"Hey Martin, I thought you might know a good recipe for road kill cyclists, as I've just hit a few in my fiesta xr2i and I brought them home; Barbie or Oven?"
PS, I just e-mailed this to my local police, I know, I'm sad, and verging on being daily mail myself, but I feel really strongly that he should get into some sort of trouble for this – totally irrespinsible and insensitive to those cyclist and their families who have been killed/seriously injured by reckless careless drivers.
Dear Sir/Madam
I would like to bring a matter to the attention of the police, as I believe an offence has been committed.
My complaint relates to an article published in the Daily Mail. The author is the well known TV chef James Martin. In the article, Mr. Martin gives his account of how when reviewing a performance car he deliberately drove carelessly and recklessly and consequently ran a group of cyclists off the road:

The section that I am complaining about is this:
"Twenty minutes into my test drive I pulled round a leafy bend, enjoying the birdsong – and spotted those damned Spider-Man cyclists. Knowing they wouldn't hear me coming, I stepped on the gas, waited until the split second before I overtook them, then gave them an almighty blast on the horn at the exact same time I passed them at speed. The look of sheer terror as they tottered into the hedge was the best thing I've ever seen in my rear-view mirror. I think this could be the car for me."
Clearly this incident did not take place in the Lothian & Borders area, but the article does not give any indication where it does take place, therefore I'd be grateful if you could advise me of the best way to progress this complaint.
Yours Faithfully,
….
