We've had burglars. This is what happened. Yorkshiresoul is about to sit down in front of the tv when he hears a noise, a quick peek from the upstairs window confirms his suspicions, some lowlifes are breaking into the golf shop. Grabbing the first thing that comes to hand (a stick of crisp celery, 48p a head, Tesco), he runs into the dark and stormy night to confront the criminal gang. Faced by a beardy, tattooed wildman wielding raw vegetables, they surrender, and are taken into custody, hurrah. Ok, ok, so it didn't happen quite like that. I heard a noise and went to look from the spare bedroom window, the security lights were on, then with a bang, they went out again. Recalling that the previous steward had been daft enough to confront an earlier set of burglars, who were tooled up with baseball bats, I was wetting myself, I got right on the phone and 999'd the police. I kept watch while waiting five minutes for the police to arrive, but when they did, the bad guys had already vanished into the night. The police were very fast in arriving, but what worries me is this, only one copper turned up, what would he do if there were two or three armed blokes who didn't fancy coming along quietly. Furthermore, he was the only officer covering Addingham, Silsden, Ilkley, Burley and Menston, and despite that, he was on his way to assist Shipley+Eccleshill because they were short staffed. Makes you feel safe at night doesn't it ?
