Grit Stealing
« on: December 03, 2010, 09:15:43 am »
Got pulled over last night by the police, thinking here we go its the xmas blow in the bag campaign and to my surprise i got.
Good evening sir, can you tell me your address? why i asked, we are just carrying out a routine stop and we need to make sure your a local resident or are you a traveller? a traveller, why i said because i,m driving a Transit van  ???
Anyway after a few more ??????? he says can we take a look in the back of the van, opened up and then he said ok carry on and good evening, i asked the other police man what did he expect to find and he told me that gypsies have been going round and emptying all the grit bins bagging it up and selling it.



















WHAT A GREAT IDEA  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D 
A bad days fishing is better than a good days work !

Its a ritual, gypsies do it every year.
The pen is mightier than the sword (and a lot easier to write with!)

my son in law gets stopped everytime he drives through to mine in his white unmarked transit, you have to go through an industrial estate that is constantly being robbed by gypsies. I never get stopped but I think the sign writing helps. they check out his van and let him on his way because as soon as you open it, it becomes apparent what was being carried, it stinks of fish ;D

I don't know at they would have made of me then because I have a couple of bags of grit in mine - bought legally from B and Q   ;D  .
Although it is intended for customers' paths, I needed some yesterday to get my van unstuck.
