    Blimey. Is this fuss about nothing still going on?

    It was a good example of the local community helping each other.

    Doesn't look like anyone inside the shop has put anything on You Tube. :( I would have been filming everything if I was there. :)

    My word, you want to see him die on camera now.

    I'm going to make a pathetic comment but one that I have held all day and that is that I believe there is some kind of romanticist thing about robbers, I thought of Dick Turpin and things like the Great Train Robbery.........both turned into books and films, it's like there is some kind of acceptance that people rob and threaten with guns and such. The Kray twins too. I know I warble but I know what I mean ;)

    I don't know why. They are just like anyone else really. There are some nice ones and some less nice ones. I don't know why they are special?

    Of course you are right, that is just my thoughts as someone who is currently lounging in bed and drinking tea and whose only threat is the grumpy cat on my lap. As I said before people do extreme things when they feel their lives are threatened

    I'm on me sofa with my legs curled up and having a bevy ;)

    I sit on a train each day and listen to the advice that is always given out and wonder what I would do if there was some nuttah with a bomb :o. The chances are it will not happen but some little bit of my brain wants to be the hero :o I do however have noted each and every way out of the train and know where all the little hammers are :D and would be the first out............after children of course

    To be honest, I would probably glance up from my betting slip and think "oh, a robbery" and then go back to filling it in.:D

    I don't think its pathetic at all, I think what you are saying has a lot of truth in it, do think we romanticise crime and criminals themselves, look at all the marriage offers Ted Bundy got for instance :eek:

    Nor me but there seems at times to be some kind of 'love and admiration' for people who rob, kill and maim.

    I will not watch the Kray Twins and films like that

    I have diversified, my apols

    I'm just going to come straight out and say it, I would be a complete coward. I would probably step over the children's heads in order to get away :o:cool:

    I think there is a truth in it, we see some kind of drama and a need for sensationalism just a shame about the victims

    I am going to have flaming nightmares aren't I :o;)

    I think its always been there, we have always had a morbid fascination with these things.

    If I find a horses head in my bed your dead :eek::D

    But your right NN we do have a morbid fascination, I will not say I go along with it as I like to think away from it. We should never make bad people hero's, not a good thing

    "he was a generous guy who would give you his last 50p"... And I'm sure he also helps little old ladies across the road... :rolleyes:

    Considering that he was a career criminal the 50p probably wasn't his to give away.
