    You get better service in the deep south.

    But then again you get colder shitty weather - AND less little thieving fuckwits, I suspect there's a link between these two...which leads back to my first comment.

    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Agreed. With taxpayer-funded sofas, Xboxes and heaters, those floaters in the gene pool would be less likely to bestir themselves out and about to exercise their lonely skillset in cold climes if there was a good chance that they'd actually, y'know, suffer...

    Reminds me of when I was a little kid and sick of home .... went to run away but got to the gate and couldn't find anywhere better to go to!

    Same thing now .... I am beginning to loath this country .... but there is nowhere better to go to!

    Things have definitely changed over time though ... when I was a kid parliament was full of "old bastards" ... now it's just full of "bastards"!

    Police used to kick your arse and tell your parents if they caught you up to no good! (worked for me!)

    Nowadays the police and the parents are probably the ones who are up to no good! ..... Price of progress?

    If a cop 'kicked a kids arse' these days and the parents found out they would be the first to scream their heads off in the nearest top-cops office...("No, no, not my son John, my son John can do no wrong...")

    Whereas in 'my day' if parents found out a cop had reason to tell you off THEY would kick your arse when you got home...

    If parents did a good job, cops wouldn't have to "kick the kid's arse".

    My parents did a good job ...... I just didn't want to take any notice of them at the time .... the deadbeats seemed to be so cool.

    We don't realise the sacrifices our parents make for us until we have to actually do it all for our own kids! .... and so the beat goes on!

    Crazy old world I know but it is the only one we have got and it was quite a wild journey getting here too! (apparently!)

    There are a lot of scams like that going on. Ive had 2 people try it with my CBR919RR but you can pick them out pretty easy.

    What your friend should have said because this worked for use. "I have found a bike thief and i am going to deal to him if you help me or not." Worked great we had 3 police cars arrive after they said they wernt going to come We already had the bike back and the suspect was later caught.
