last year when i was on the bench there was this elderly lady wandering up our street - looked half-cut as she started wobbling all over the road. i ran out and asked if she was ok. she told me in no uncertain terms to leave her alone.
i was sure she would get run over so i shadowed her making sure that she stayed off the road and all the while she was getting very angry with me. shouting at me to leave her alone and suchlike
all of a sudden she collapsed - i caught her but she was so heavy i dropped her and she got a right old whack as her head hit the tarmack.
I have a similar ATM story - ran after a guy who walked away without taking the cash (£20)! He was clealy distracted by chatting to his bird about how skint he was - NO WONDER!!
A few years ago I was behind a girl using a cashing machine, she was there for a bit, swore at it then walked off with her card. I went to use the machine and noticed a wad of cash sticking out of the money slot. Must have been £200+. Ran after her and gave her the money and told her to be more careful in future.
Incidently, over the weekend I used the self service checkout in ASDA, got £50 cash back which i accidently left in the notes dispenser. Luckily a very honest employee caught up with me as I walked out and corrected my error
The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”
