This is excellent news Nick - congrats

Much happening out and about 'round your end this morning?

Hi EO

Somebody was hammering on somebody else's door a few minutes ago - I think it might have been Flat 1 (who hadn't been back when I came in) needing the key to the padlock on his flat from Flat 4 (who's been back since early evening).

I can hear some tapping noises from down below - I think he's trying to work out how to lock his door from the inside when the lock is sitting on the stairs and he can't lock a padlock from within

EVOH - it is Leicester, afterall...

It is; I'm not

This is indeed quite a quandry

It is; I'm not

I thought you would have made an effort to sound like a local... Mind you, in hindsight, as a yamyam even I think the Leicester twang is gruesome.

But mentioning the Police...

Last Sunday, a female PC (apparently they aren't called WPCs any more) left her handbag in the pub, from which it was nicked. It had her phone, purse, keys, and - most importantly, one would think - warrant card (& badge) in it

The assistant manager had, upon being contacted by her, immediately secured the CCTV footage, and transferred the appropriate parts thereof showing the guys actually taking the bag to disc in the approved manner. However, having told the Police that he'd done this and could bring it round to the nearby Police Station, he was told not to bother, and they'd pick it up.

Today (Thursday, which is a bit after Sunday) some copper finally came round for it at about 2pm - when the place isn't open (they don't open weekday lunchtimes), but the manager happened to be around on the premises.

When the manager commented on the fact that it was one of their own, who had lost her badge and warrant card, said copper was surprised and said that he hadn't known that.

Anyway, the manager gave him the disc, and he left.

At about half past five, he phoned the pub: "Is that <landlord>? It's PC <copper> who was there earlier."

<landlord>: "Oh right, how can I help?"

<copper>: "Did I leave my hat there?"

<- most appropriate use of that smiley EVAH!

How many police stories does that make this week?
