No, but you do expect it to last about 5min before it gets trashed.

Snow is a good test of how rough your street is:

- Rough: snowman kicked to bits in an hour or less
- Very rough: same but the head is thrown at your house, or the snowman is in your back garden
- Roughish: decapitated or trashed within 24 hours
- OK: people add genitalia
- Good: left well alone
- Excellent: people add decorations or more snowmen next to it

One snowman in our street has a giant icicle stabbed through it's heart, otherwise no fatalities. There is a 7-foot tall snow-penis standing upright in a nearby garden, complete with balls covered in bits of sticks for pubes. Well, it was upright but is slowly leaning/drooping as the sun hits it.

Obviously Calvin and Hobbes live up your street.

Maybe she used family silver spoons...

She's from Chatham, you don't get much "family silver" down that way

During the call the woman said: "It ain't a nice road but you don't expect someone to nick your snowman."

That bit has made me really laugh too.

Perhaps it wasn't nicked, but put snowmanely down?

[MaryPoppins]

because she used pound coins for eyes and teaspoons for arms.

I can empathise, I build a snowman last year and when it thawed the water was absorbed by the ground, it then was soaked up by a orchard a few miles away and the apples where sold by the owner, so he profited from my snowman. I am taking it all the way to Europe.

..but wasn't it returned when the ciderhead pissed on your lawn.

Exactly. Theft is theft, however petty it's still a crime. If the police gave a tulip perhaps people would think twice about flaunting the law whenever they feel like it.

I left a £50 note on the path outside my house and some **** nicked it after a few hours.



Police didn't seem interested in the crime.

Wouldn't pennies do for the eyes? Or even buttons?

Heck yes. Recently-resigned-for-saying-you've-never-had-it-so-good Lord Young would be turning in his grave if he knew people were spending £2 on snowman eyes in the middle of this "so-called recession", and if he was dead.

Might have been a couple of slices of Spam?

I tested the Dutch emergency services call centre; about 75% of the calls were fake callers;

- calling to hurl abuse at the telephonists
- children pissing around
- people asking where they can order a pizza
- heavy breather types wanting a female voice on the line
- trouser pocket calls, where the number was accidentally dialled on the mobile

We introduced some software to help the coppers catch the idiots.

If you have ever been to Chatham and seen the in-bred spongers living there, you would not feel so surprised.
