I happened to look out of the window earlier and saw a load smoke coming from the copse at the end of the road, knowing that hooligans have been up there recently sniffing aerosols and drinking, apart from trashing the copse and trying to burn it to the ground, i thought this time id phone the non emergency line for the Police rather than phone 999, well it's a report, not an emergency, well that's what i thought.
The woman i spoke to couldn't have been more disinterested if she had tried, despite the fact i told her there was under-age drinking, solvent abuse and probably various other things going on, she asked me to phone back in a couple of hours - unbelievable, so i phoned the Farm and told them, he was grateful for the heads up and stunned at the laws response or rather lack of it, i didn't go up there myself in the name of safety, you never know what these people will do if they are drugged and drunk?
Anyway a short time later, i see a Fire tender go down the lane, in the short time since i was brushed off by the Police, the hooligans have set fire to the wood yard, apols for the rubbish pic, taken on my phone in failing light
If the coppers had responded in the first place, i dare say this catastrophe could well have been avoided and the yards owners livelihood not put in jeopardy.
Makes my blood boil stuff like this, yet if the coppers want something, they expect you to go running there and then, you play the good citizen and report stuff and they are not interested, next time, i really hope there is not a next time, it happens, i tell them there is a car up there without a tax disc, bet you wouldn't be able to move for coppers then
