I've only just twigged what is going on here! I am sure once the village has had a spruce up it will more poplar. All the cuttings can be burnt  and reduced to ash.

Looks like its more than just the puns that made the journey.

Only by those so inured to the general attitude that they genuinely believe there's nothing to worry about...

The bit that gets me (apart from Mr Dalton managing to be a pensioner at only 63) is that if Abberton is such a picturesque village, how come the locals failed to recognise a pair of shears when they saw one?

Sixty-three?

From the photo, Mr Dalton's experience with the local constabulary seems to have aged him ten years.

If the couple who reported him as carrying a sword or knife are of a similar vintage it's no wonder they're confused.

I'm guessing Mr Dalton still doesn't realise how lucky he is that he's White...


Surely that could be construed as a racist comment. ;)

With either, obvious disparities needn't be swallowed without comment...

I see the parallel universe has arrived. I'm beginning to feel more at home.
