Excellent comments chaps. All good stuff!
"Hello, Officer. Yes, I know it's a bit late in the evening to be half way in a ditch with a little tool in my hand!"
I continued...
"Before you bundle me into your van, I'm really just collecting bits of greenery to accompany Lt. Bilko, Troopers Kolinski and Trump. A mum and her little girl. Two horses, one of which is an Appaloosa. Are you familiar with the breed? No, didn't think you would be! Bringing up the rear of the horses is a know it all taxi driver. They are all in France. That's across the Channel........ in Europe!"
"No I'm not trying to be a smart a**e, the French taxi driver is already one of those and we don't want another, do we?....... Huh!, that thing you are pointing at me isn't strong enough to stop me, I know Matron
and Sister Muldoon!"
"OW! You ba****d!"
"Let me out, I've left my carrier bag full of weeds, twigs and dead leaves!"
I am happy to report that after spending the night in a police cell, I have been collected by Matron and went back to 'Home' via the lane to pick up my goodies.
Here are some of the pickings in place.
I need slightly different greenery for the next bit. I'll have to take care though, as I've now got a band around my ankles which lets the police know where I am. The tossers won't know where, when I'm up to my knees in ditch water!
Churping away like a tu'penny budgie.
