" It's a routine stop, as you know we're having a lot of cable thefts". Yup, I got pulled by The Boys In Blue after John's gig Monday night. I wouldn't normally mind, but be reasonable, why on earth would you suspect a ten year old van ( which like its driver has seen better days, ) heavily loaded, proceeding slowly along the road at half past one in the morning? :eek: :eek:
One of the humorous aspects was that when I opened up the doors to show that I wasn't loaded with a couple of miles of British Rail's finest cable, what was sitting proudly in the middle of the van? Only the ne'er do well's weapon of choice: A bloody great Stihlsaw, equipped with a blade guaranteed to cut most things known to mankind! :o :o :o :o :o :o :o
The two officers who stopped me were absolutely brilliant, great lads. :)
