No **** Sherlock!
Yesterday youngest son was walking in Cole Park Twickers on his way to join friends to watch a Harlequins Rugby match when a car pulled up alongside him. Thinking they wanted directions he stopped and bent down to ask if he could help. Plain clothes CID officers then kept him standing around for 40 minutes while they checked out his I.D. and questioned him. He had on his person a can of soft drink and a Kit Kat, obvious signs of being up to no good. He was told there had been a number of burglaries in the area, so he pointed out that not only was it mid afternoon on a weekend when most people would be at home but he had a bright pink beanie hat on, hardly the thing to wear if you wanted to merge into the background and break in to someone's house. Having finally decided that he was just minding his own business they let him go, throughout they refused to let him answer his 'phone as his friends were calling him to see where he'd got to. Have our forces of law and order really not got anything better to do?
