I find officers frequently fail to ask the right questions to elicit an unequivocal acceptance unless it’s in the form of an admission, so if I don’t intervene during the questioning I’ll ask at the end ‘Just to clear, although you don’t remember, do
you accept the offence as alleged?’
Without a solicitor, I imagine there have been cases where people have been charged simply because officers haven’t asked the right questions

That is clearly sufficient. You cannot admit to what you cannot remember but accepting Prosecution case on full facts is an admission. That is the basis upon which he would plead Guilty art the Court
