I witnessed a crimeFreddy Woo writes, "A group of us once staggered home so insensible with drink that we failed to notice someone being killed and buried in a shallow grave not more than 50 yards away. A crime unsolved to this day."
Have you witnessed a crime and done bugger all about it? Or are you a have-a-go hero?
Whatever. Tell us about it...

freddie's other sistersomewhere buried back on one of the earlier pages - i don't do clever linky things as i am computer illiterate - i told the story of my friend's older sister who had to jump off her balcony to avoid being murdered.
anyway, his younger sister maria has a flat in the same block. she lives there with her mad sportsplaying flatmate, but as is the way in london, they seldom see each other. so maria comes home one night, makeup off, teeth cleaned, nightie on, gets into bed, lights out, sleep.
at about 3am she was woken up by her bedroom window smashing open and two men dressed in black from head to foot, including balaclavas, swinging through it on ropes.
as you can imagine, maria was absolutely terrified; she was half sitting in bed, and she said she was too scared to scream. the two men were swearing (in english this time frank!!) to each other about breaking the window and why it hadn't been open.
then maria's flatmate came running in, hockey stick in hand, saw the two men and started screaming. the men jumped a mile, then they clocked maria in the bed and started swearing again.
anyway, it turned out that there was a suspected terrorist living in the flat next door and the two men were policemen, part of a planned raid on the block. they were to be stationed on her balcony in case he tried to escape that way somehow, but it hadn't quite gone to plan. all the other neighbours had been evacuated for the night, but somehow maria's flat had been missed out.
meanwhile the unfortunate suspected terrorist, when they got him, was nothing of the sort and ended up getting rather a lot of compensation from the taxpayer.
ok, fine, it's not a crime exactly (apart from the criminal stupidity of the police) and i didn't witness it either. but chthonic's blurb says "whatever" so i am putting this under that category, ok?

DownsizeGet the hell out of the hell hole that London has become and you will be happier than you would ever know.
I would have to be dragged back kicking and screaming with a gun held to my head!
