I witnessed shop lifting in Accrington's Holland & Barrett today

[Dogtrousers]

I went in to Holland and Barrett the other day. Door was locked and staff have to buzz you in. Like going into a jewellers.

They didn't have what I was looking for so I left without buying anything. I did my best not to look too dodgy.

More thieving in Accrington H&B today. A former employee of H&B who was in on a social call stopped the skank by standing in the doorway and saying "I ain't moving, so if you want to pass me put that f..k..g stuff back NOW"!!!!! I know this because the former employee was in when I went in about 5pm. She told me what she said and said she'd have quote 2 hatted (but she used the actual word) him if he'd come at her! I'm telling you, I certainly wouldn't like to mess with her!

Once back in the 80's, I was a student in Liverpool in the suburbs out near Prescot/Huyton. I went down to the local off licence after the first week of term to get a few beers. Imagine my surprise when I walked in and it was wall-to-wall perspex barriers. You had to buy stuff like it was making a withdrawal from a bank (buildings where one used to go to get money etc...for younger CC'ers ), sliding it all under the barrier.
A few years ago I was doing a little site job at a private house in a Southampton suburb, looked pretty quiet, 1930's houses, bay windows etc. I nipped around to the local shop for lunch, same thing, like Fort Knox.

I saw the plod pull over and almost jump out their car to confront these dodgy looking ones this aft'. After about 10 minutes they let them go on their way, though according to a shop owner friend they are well known shoplifters.

By the way, this massage parlour according to reports is a knocking shop!!

Some thieving scrote tried to steal my dad's bike the other day. He's got a rather nice E bike and he put 2 locks on it in full view of the leisure centres CCTV cameras.. When he came out after his gym session he caught some scrote trying to pinch his bike. Bearing in mind my dads reaching into his 80s he was ready to wack this 20 something lad.Thankfully the lout legged it as in all honesty my dad wouldn't of stood a chance

An old boy I know was in the Malayan Scouts, the operational forerunner of the modern SAS. About 15 years ago he caught some lowlife snapping the aerial off his car. Said lowlife then made the mistake of squaring up to him.

Despite being then in his 70's he had little difficulty in sending the scrote on his way in an ambulance, and the many passing witnesses gleefully told the dibble it was a clear cut dose of self defence.

Dammit, we used to transport this class of criminal to Australia.

I took these photos this afternoon in Accrington. According to reports mounted police chased four shoplifters through the town centre after they'd robbed a pound shop and caught them here, outside the now closed Wilko store. In the photos police are waiting for a van to arrive to take the shoplifters to Blackburn police station's 'custody suite'.

Mounted police chasing down pound shop thieves?! There must be something in the water in Accrington!

The German Shepherds have probably refused to patrol the town centre.

Massive coke fiends. Their capacity for sniffing out a wrap is legendary.

I'm more shocked Accrington has a H&B

Have you ever been to Accrington?
