A visit to Greggs may harm your freedom….
So there i was on the way back from a client, feeling a little peckish and undernourished (Those of you that know me will no doubt be chuckling that a short fat bald bloke such as i can be undernourished).
I decided to stop off at a well known pastie shop to slake my appetite, thus parked up, in the car park and trotted over to a delightful lady who graciously furnished me with a chicken and cranberry sandwich for the princely sum of £1.
There is something to be said for the anticipation of enjoying a delightful sandwich in peace, whilst being soothed by Classic FM. So there i sat in the car taking the first bite of my much anticipated food when… CRASH !
A car had reversed out of the parking space behind me turning as if to exit the car park, when two cars ploughed into the front of it pushing it up against the barrier behind it. Eight people decamped from the the two cars and furiously set about smashing the windows of the third car, dragging the occupants out of the now smashed windows, onto the floor. (No where nearly as elegantly as the Dukes of Hazard).
(I had stopped chewing by this point) Three other people ran across the front of my car (not literally) and it was then i noticed the small ‘police’ badge draped around the neck of the people pinning the 3 unfortunate chaps to the floor. Needless to say my appetite had suddenly retreated and i sat with a gormless look on my face, cranberry on my tie and sandwich in hand watching the ‘Boys in Blue’ at there best.
I have no idea what the 3 people had been arrested for and i don’t really think i want to know frankly. However I slept well in my bed last night knowing that 3 more evidently ‘undesirable’ chaps were off the streets. Congrats Mr Plod, it was an astonishing show, reminding me that even though we live in a world where we are constantly worried about who or what is round the next corner, you guys are on the front line trying (against the odds) to keep us safe from harm.
Today Mr Police Man I salute you.
