Hello,
I've just been watching a documentary about the police in the UK and it gave me an idea for a question....
What's the worst trouble you've ever been in?
I've managed to avoid getting into any serious trouble, but I remember almost getting arrested once.
My friends and I used to hang out in a little square near to a block of flats. We liked it there because there were plenty of low walls to sit on and it was a good place to meet up before moving onto wherever we were going that evening. The residents didn't like us being there though. If there were ever more than three or four of us or if we stayed for longer than about 30 minutes the police would get called and we'd be told to move on.
One night I was sitting cross legged on the ground chatting to two of my friends who were sitting on a wall. A police car drove past and my two friends stood up and hurried away. I stood up to follow them but then ended up flat on my face. My legs had gone dead because I'd been sitting on the floor for so long.
The police came over and started asking how old I was and if I'd been drinking, all kinds of questions like that.
I was really worried that they were going to arrest me and I hadn't even been drinking. I was about 17 at the time, so it would have been a problem if I had.
Eventually they told me that it was too much paper work to book me that time, but if they ever got complaints about us being there again we'd be charged with loitering.
So there you go, not much of a hardened criminal, am I?
What about you, any brushes with the law?

I was more embarrassed than anything....especially as I happened to be just in front of the gates of the pedestrian hospital entrance, but they insisted on taking me round to the ER entrance by ambulance

Blaming the guy that ran off 10 minutes ago doesn't work.
