Unfortunately these days we do have to be ultra vigilant when we are out and about, especially in crowded areas, but you have to be somewhat sympathetic for the guy who found himself forcibly restrained by armed police following a tip off that he was acting suspiciously and apparently armed with a handgun.
The “handgun” turned out to be nothing more lethal than a cheese sandwich, which I suppose is likely to be fairly harmless unless it was well “out of date”!
We also heard about the Suffolk man who loves tractors. And when I say he loves tractors I mean, he REALLY loves tractors.
It seems that he has had “one way” affairs with no less than 450 of them. After police caught him in flagrante delicto with a tractor in a field outside Saxmundham, they raided his house to find a collection of more than 5,000 tractor images on his laptop which showed that he had a special attraction for John Deere and Massey Ferguson tractors, particularly green ones.
As a result of his exploits he has been banned from venturing within a mile of a farm and must now stay in the centre of Ipswich.
This restriction has caused some police officers to express concern for the safety and wellbeing of several street cleaning machines in the town.
See you again tomorrow,
Scott
