“Ah, the pitfalls of the internet pedant! If you're going to spend your internet life nitpicking the grammar of others, somebody should probably tell you that the first letter of forenames (like Sarah), place names (like Stoke), ranks (like Sergeant), newspaper names (like Sentinel) and language names (like English) should be capitalized, quoted text should be in double-quotation marks, and the full-stop should be *inside* the closing quotation mark.
The grammar faux-pas of the Sentinel Reporter looks exceedingly minor against that car crash - don't you agree, Sarah?”

“'Thankfully there WERE no horses in the box'. Get the grammar right please sergeant tracey, or is it the sentinel reporter who needs a course in english language?”

“The thing is aswell if you have passed your driving test after 1997 you have to pass a driving test with a trailer to be able to tow trailers ,caravans and so on , on the roads.”

“I like the "nagging" pun Steve. Maybe the lady passenger had been having a nag at the driver? Whatever, the truth, he had a right old mare.”

“Looking at the picture I get a nagging feeling that the lad should probably seek some tuition in towing trailers.”
