Gang nicks bookie’s safe
This news item made me laugh. Police are looking for a gang who burgled a bookmaker’s shop in Bourne, south Lincolnshire, and stole the safe. This, in itself, isn’t particularly funny, although, as dear old Mama Frumplington sometimes used to say, disparagingly, “You’d probably laugh if you were on fire, you would.”
No, what made me laugh was this line at the end:
The safe is described as large and metal with a dial on the front.
It’s like a child’s description of a safe, isn’t it? Or something from a comic strip. Something like this maybe?
