Just suffered an armed robbery about five hours ago....

Sorry no photo's maybe next time.....

I own a general store 8 till late, Spar. The poor woman serving is very shaken and it looks like it will take some time to recover. Nothing taken as she said no to the request to hand over the money. Junkies, unpredictable........

I ran off down the road after them with a baseball bat but on reflection this was not a good move as it's just not worth getting shot over. Oh to be armed in this increasingly dangerous Country.....

The perps have been caught with the gun in the car as the police closed the County down and did a good job tracking the scum down. 5-8 years in jail for nothing...

Thought I'd post this to 'get it off my chest' so to speak....
Still waiting for the fingerprint guys to turn up......

Anyway happy Easter........

    Wow, Bodwick, that's a scary deal all the way around. You have no control, that's gotta be terrifying. I can understand why the woman is badly shaken. I would be too. Thank goodness no one was hurt. I hope you and she can get over it.

    All quiet now.
    There are strict instuctions to hand over cash rather than take any risks but this is not the first time staff have refused to hand over money.

    I better buy Doreen some flowers & some choc's.....

    Time to get the camera out and move on into a new day. The moon looks good tonight.....

    Bod..
