Highlight of the day

[pandop]

I am watching mindless tv, Traffic Cops to be precise. I was highly amused that the first item featured was the tasering of a suspected armed robber, by more conventionally armed police (!)  - why? Because it was in Withernsea

Armed police in Withernsea

First Tasering in Humberside (I think they mean by Humberside Police, as Humberside no longer exists, but that is another matter) in Withernsea

Withernsea

( I appreciate many of you won't get why this is so funny, but believe me, it is)

I think you are the only person on my flist who will get why this is hilarious

My mum lives in Withernsea. Was some 80 year old going too fast on their motorised scooter with a stripey t-shirt and a swag bag?

Really, this is too ridiculous! :D

She lives in Withernsea? Cool.

Not that cool ;) She bought a house dirt cheap and retired there, but let's face it, Withernsea is not the hippest, most happening (bank robbering) place on the east coast. And everyone Mum knows there (after moving) is from where she moved from in Wakefield or Leeds!

World too small, etc...

Also apologies - bloglines played up and hid about 30 of your posts :(

True. It is more that I am always surprised people have heard of it.

My Mum is going to buck the trend and retire from Bridlington back to Leeds!
