Don't get ill in Cumbria

"The officers who dealt with this morning's incident did so with public safety in mind "

Joe Bloggs calls their insurance company...

JB: "I'd like to make a claim on my car insurance"

IC: "Please describe the nature of the incident"

JB: "My local constabulary blew it up"

IC: ".....Pardon??"

JB: "I was taken ill, my local bobby helped me out and parked my car outside the police station. It was then cordoned off an blown up as a security risk"

IC: "Ah...your insurance doesn't cover this, good bye."
