Re: In the news today...man stabbed to death trying to save son from 50-strong mob

i hesitate to call the police now they dont seem to respond to a lot.

i was once walking my dog on a field when i nearly got run over by a car flying past the trees at goodness knows what speed- i am just glad she was on the lead-i phoned the police and got the spanish inquisition that went something like this ( not exact it was a while ago but you will get the gist)

me:i am ringing to report two joy riders still in the car and still joy riding on a field behind ******* street
police: how do you know they are joy riding?
m: they are on a field that has no official acccess for any vehicles and they are doing quite a speed.
p: are you sure that they have stolen the car?
m: i never said they had stolen the car
p: are you trying to waste our time?
m:no i have just nearly been run over by a car on a field with no vehicle access
p: can you give me the number plate?
m: no they are going too fast for me to read it
p:do you know what speed they are travelling
m: .......stunned silence......NO I DONT
p:i will have to discuss with my supervisor as to whether we will send someone out
end of call

half an hour later the car was on the field burning rather well no police in sight

do i need to say anymore?
