I wonder if the police would let the drivers use paint ball guns filled with that dye that does not wash off, like they use in bank boxes, just shoot at the scum and then let the police pick them up

The best way of dealing with this ....IMO .... is for the trade to work with the police... what we do here, is provide the police with a hackney for two weeks , just before trick or treat..... they then drive it round using it as a target with a ordinary vehicle behind..... the kids throw bricks at the cab... the police in the vehicle behind photograph them... and arrest them.... works a treat.... the word soon gets around and the kids leave the taxi alone...... Operation Trojan... :wink: .

This does not sound right to me. The police are "lent" a taxi and it is driven by an unbadged driver therfore uninsured and bricks get thrown at it which must cause loads of damage. Who pays for the damage to be repaired, if it is repareable and how are the police allowed to drive uninsured?

I know, I know!

I used to go out with a girl from the Wirral. Quickest way to kill a good mood was to suggest she was a Scouser.

I used to quite frequently but that's only because I'm a city boy and she tried repeatedly to get me on her bloody horses! I sounded like a choirboy after one weekend at hers.
