There's me thinking I lived in a nice quiet Village

..........then last night, about 10pm, the sound of a Helicopter shook the House. Round and round it went, over the House, like something from " Apocalypse Now " ,with me standing in the drive; lit up by all our Colditz security lights, glaring up at it.  A police Car sped down the road, towards the end, that then turns into a Farm track.  20 minutes later.......silence.....until this morning, when the village jungle drums beat out the message.  Turns out some guy, in the next road, was raided; because he had a cannabis factory / farm going in his garden shed.  He did a runner and half the Kent constabulary were chasing him..........I had no idea that sort of farming went on around here........I wonder if he got an EU subsidy.

They are everywhere. 

Apparently abut half a million growers in the UK which is equivalent to roughly one on every street.

This is why Kent is commonly called the Tropical Garden of England🤑

There was once a surfeit of magic mushrooms in Ambridge. The police were called, the FBI, and even MI5. It took Alan Titchmarsh to verify that they were growing wild, and it wasn't the business venture of some Drug Baron.

Lol at the thought of  Lynda Snell on mushrooms

I'm 30 miles from Murkyside. Just because I live on a hill and can see Murkyside doesn't make me a Murkysider!

I remember a politician once saying he believed in the Mushroom method of government, what's that asked the naive questioner.  He said " Keep them in the dark and **** on them twice a Week ".

Go on Al, remind me of what he was supposed to have said?

Perfect example of the EU fisherman of Brussels, reeling in his catch.
