Sir Rocco's wife lands him a fine

I hear that Sir Rocco Forte's wife has landed the great man in a bit of bother with the police. Apparently, while driving his Chelsea tractor the wrong way down a one-way street, she caused a four-car smash and then drove away from the scene.

Alas, Sir Rocco's Range Rover was picked up on CCTV footage and identified as the offending vechile, but he contested that his Range Rover could not have been involved as he never knew it had happened. As it turns out his wife had decided not to tell the great man, but just forwarded the paperwork onto his office.

The magistrates at Guildford Magistrate's court obviously felt a certain sympathy with Sir Rocco as they only fined him £500 for failing to comply with a police investigation
