CAPTION(S): * TOP-UP: Refuelling at the Greenside Filling Station, Waterloo, during the 'seven-day scoot'' publicity stunt organised by the Luddites club. It contained a sequence in which Mr Brunstrom and his deputy Clive Wolfendale made "disparaging" comments about Mr Lucas - including comparing him to the man the Luddites took their name from - because he had criticised the force's decision to employ web staff at more than pounds 40,000 while cutting police posts. |
