Morning all.

Looks like a nice weekend in store.

Slightly painfull knee today after tackling a shoplifting scally at my local Sainsbury...had him restrained and ready for the cops in less than 30 seconds (still got it in me) was quite a sight me on top of him as he cursed and threatened me in front of the store. What some will do for some stake and razors.

Store manager gave me a bottle of wine for my troubles... no doubt the beak will give the scally a ticking off only...I do miss the rough and tumble at times.

Morning all, well done Peter, a repeat of yesterday for me, another meter to reinforce.

Have fun all...

Morning all. Not a great start to the day, managed to carelessly curb two alloys on the Merc purely by not paying attention.
Opps.

Early finish today I think.

Well done Peter. Nothing wrong with a bit of community spirit.

Reminds me of a similar story where I was outside our local Sommerfeld (are they still about) and a Yoof was legging it out with a bottle of vodka and a load of other stuff in a bag and I stuck an arm out and clothes lined him.
Obviously due to the speed he was running and not expecting an arm out in front of him, he went flying up in the air and landed on his head, knocking himself out cold.
I then got a lecture by the plod about not getting involved and that I could be prosecuted for assault. (I wasn't. Never heard a thing about it again).

The store manager was far happier with me getting involved and gave me a £20 voucher to spend in the shop.
Result. I'd only gone there to get some bread and milk.

Assault, your honour? I was merely indicating an interesting sparrow to my partner, thus!

I still have powers of a constable as a result of my job and know my local bobbies well.

The best one I recall was at the Mermaid Inn in Rye. Billy Burglar jumps over a garden wall into the pubs garden, to many shrieks from the diners, swiftly followed by local cop. I was enjoying a nice seafood platter with a young lady I was hoping to get my way with.

I instinctively darted up and tackled him to the floor, restrained him and helped to search and cuff him. After the van arrived to take them away I rejoined said lady whos mouth was still wide open. Dusted my self off and said...now where were we...to be greated by huge snog...I was in!!

As some will know the Mermaid was used to billet US troops prior to D Day, and as such many of them return to show family and friends where they spent the War...a few moments later a portly American came over and said. "You Sir deserve a drink and plonked a bottle of Pol Roger on the table which was greatfully received.

Well as I was driving I said to my date...you will have to drink most of this as Im driving...her reply was to lets share...we could always spend the night here...which we did...I will leave the rest to your imagination but said plum American did see us a breakfast and asked if the drink help my chances.

Brilliant! I know the Mermaid, had lunch in there not so long ago. It's about 30 minutes from me. Less if I go in the Maser.
