I bought an axe a short while back and refused a carrier bag thinking it was not required for such an easy to carry item, plus environment benefits and and all that.

It was only as I was walking through the high street 5 mins later with said axe swinging by my side I kind of wished I had taken the carrier bag

Its a good way to ensure a irect route through a crowd..

CareFull with that Axe, Eugene

Actually a slight variation. If you see the Gypo's up to no good, call the police and say you think one of them might be carrying a rifle in public.

They should hurry round with an armed response team.

Later you can say it might have been a piece of wood that looked like a gun.

Even better you could say you are carrying a gun and you have shot one of the gypos. That'll get the police round even faster lol

You can't win that easily. One man saw a woman allow her dog to foul the pavement, so he decided to shop her, and took a couple of pictures on his mobile phone. When he showed them to the police, they gave him a warning about taking photographs of unknown women in public.

He's lucky - had she been an off duty copper he'd probably be in jail by now.

Then the coppers certainly won't turn out when the Gippos come to get you.

They're pretty much all armed anyway and I don't see them up in court for that.

Should have said that he'd just shot one, then they'd have been out in force...

delete "said that he'd"

Should have just shot one

It didn't have a registered keeper - it was registered as having been scrapped. They did offer to come round and take a statement from me but pointed out that it would take and hour or so and that I'd probably rather be in the pub since it was Saturday evening.

We had similar.
Gypos surveiling the are by driving up and down back allies in a pick up with a bloke on the back looking over the taller hedges and walls.
Neighbour rang the Police to inform them of this suspect activity. He quoted the reg. The guy at th eother end said they would never be able to track it as the reg did not exist.
Said neighbour pointed out that should a plod be available he could tell them exactly where to turn up as said gypos were busy helping themselves to some building materials and would be there for at least 20 mins. Apparently all the plod in our area were otherwise occupied.

Pikey pool van or not, like any pool van the registered keeper is responsible for what it does, unless he can prove otherwise.

The police weren't interested for reasons that say more about the police than about the travellers.

I had my car rammed by a member of the "travelling community" when I told him I was going to report him to the police for the huge pile of crap he'd just dumped on a grass verge.

Of course the police weren't really interested as they said they'd never be able to track down the vehicle as it was most likely a "pikey pool van" which gets passed between various camps on a regular basis to minimise the likelihood of being picked up by the police.

Wouldn't stop me from picking up the phone should I witness the same thing again though.

He did stick the phone up her skirt to be fair.

Blimey, it makes living in the middle of a housing estate almost worth it.

You'd be in a much bigger cashment area (sic) and if you could bag a 3rd floor flat, just imagine the number of cameras pointing out in all directions you could have !

Then watch the lovely lolly roll in !

Nice one NuLab !

Good plan - then get some bod from India to review the footage each night and copy out the offending frames, email them back and send to the stasi. Boomed.
