I just did my short lumpy singlespeed shopping loop. (I can walk directly to Aldi quicker than cycling that indirect way, but the ride gives me a burst of exercise with some intense intervals so I prefer to do it like that.)

Nothing much going on until my shopping was being scanned at the till, when suddenly shouts went up... "Shoplifter!!!" Some cheeky young guy had walked past us at the checkout carrying 2 or 3 items, and then just legged it! :eek:

I was quite impressed by how quickly the staff set off after him... 3 or 4 female Aldi employees almost caught him but they were overtaken by an impressively fast sprint by a young male Aldi worker who grabbed the scrote and dragged him off somewhere. Thankfully, no weapons were used on the Aldi sprint team!

I think that British Athletics should get some talent scouts over to Tod ASAP. You never know - we could be seeing some of those Aldi runners in the 2024 Olympics! :laugh:

Considering the amount of knife carrying these days, I think I might just have let him go. Suppose instinct just kicks in though.

I was thinking that myself!

I don't suppose the law will do much to him anyway...

What surprised me was how annoyed the staff were. They are all young. Listening to their comments, it was clear that they didn't like the fact that they work hard to pay their shopping bills, but someone like that thinks that they don't need to bother and can just take what they like for nothing!

I remember the old Co Op that used to be in Queen Victoria road, I was in there about tea time one day and the Hue and Cry went up and a load of staff went after a shop lifter, I was talking to the checkout Lady and she told me it was the second time today that the bloke had robbed the store, apparently he'd got away in the morning then came back tea time to rob some more and was still wearing the same coat.

Minimum value of £300, or violence involved for the police to even consider dealing with it.
 
The roast dinner wat as ow I created
View attachment 604385
1st full roast I ever made ^_^
Looks good!

Spuds seem to have worked as well

although my wife would be very dubious of what appear to be green bits on them - she suspects me of trying to sneak extra veg into her meals
dunno why she often easily makes the recommended 5 portion of fruit and veg a week
