And finally… payback

A police force has threatened to deliver harsh punishment to motorists caught drink-driving over the festive period – they will be made to listen to much-maligned Canadian rock band Nickelback.

Officers in Kensington, on Prince Edward Island in Canada, have promised to break open the office’s sealed copy of Nickelback’s Silver Side Up and subject impaired drivers to it.

The force said in a post: “Now, now, no need to thank us. We figure if you are foolish enough to get behind the wheel after drinking then a little Chad Kroeger and the boys is the perfect gift for you.

“So please, let’s not ruin a perfectly good unopened copy of Nickelback. You don’t drink and drive and we won’t make you listen to it.”
