Our local news bulletin
reported this morning how a 90 year old woman ended up in hospital, after being run over by a mobility scooter in a branch of Collectables in Newcastle.

Completely unrelated, but thought I'd share anyway. It brightened my morning up no end.

It's a shop that sells all sorts of overpriced household ornaments. collectables.co.uk/

/EDIT yes, that's about the right description!

If you haven't slapped a copper in the face with your cock then you haven't lived!
I'm sure that there is a little tongue in cheek in the writing of that article...
