Upon my arrival I immediately recognised a male person known to me as br2975 and at the same time noted that he was holding a large LACK shelf, some 1.9m in length, beneath his left arm. As I continued with my observations, it was obvious to all present that br2975 was making no attempt to conceal the item. I engaged br2975 in conversation and established that said shelf was in fact a reduced cost item and he was in the process of acquiring said item for the sole purpose of it providing the basis for a model railway project. Satisfied with the account provided, implausible as it may have sounded, I left the area and subsequently completed my reports. . All quiet on departure. . No offences disclosed .

The exit is always to the South East. The trick is knowing at which point to turn. Some observations then..... You don't have to be Bear Grylls, chaps. Aside from the green exit signs everywhere...........there are large white arrows painted on the floor to follow which take you.......wait for it..........to the exit..... Aside from which, the LACK department is within sight of the exit... And finally, one should never enter anywhere without first establishing how one will exit if it all goes the way of the pear......... 4 2 2 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
