I've just had a most surreal experience :huh:

2 police officers knocked at the door. They asked me if the car parked out front is mine (it is, my drive was full of DS1 friends cars when I got home from shopping yesterday and Ive not been out since)

They then asked me why I have a 'shovel' in the boot :o:o I informed them it was a garden spade and it was in there because I'd just bought it and I had 4 other bags to carry so I left it in there to get out later (which is absolutely true!!)

The 'shovel' in question still has all the plastic wrapping on. I really wasn't happy with the way it was going so I asked them why they'd been looking in my propertyin the first place. The lady officer told me they can look in anyone's property if they see fit :eek: fair enough I said but why are you asking me about my brand shiny new garden spade? Nothing....no answer. I said if you are looking at my property because I'm suspected of doing something then at least ask me. At that I was told it was unusual to have a spade in my boot :huh: and they said some niceities and left??

!!!!!!??

They might be legitamely looking for something? and I don't even mind that they looked in my car. But surely they should know the difference between a shovel and a spade :rotfl:

I hope they don't dig my patio up :eek: :rotfl:

I just had to Google the difference between a shovel and a spade. I'm still not sure which they would need to dig up your patio! All sounds quite bizarre.

I was joking about the patio I guess I watched too much brookside in the 80s :rotfl::rotfl:

I live in a classic leafy suburban area where nothing ever happens. So quite why the police are looking in people's car boots is beyond me. There again, much of life passes me by lately so maybe there is some major crime going on that I'm blissfully unaware of :rotfl:

That always happens to me when it's late and I have the wrong glasses on.

ETA Having trouble with my own now - two of them, I wonder if they have done something odd because of the clocks changing?
