Breaking and entering and crashing

and braking and crashing

In a packed show we heard that:

 

Birds do it, blokes do it, even educated folks do it, let’s do it, let’s squat a house! There are 20,000 people living in places that are not, technically speaking, theirs. They are not necessarily doing this illegally, or at least the police are unwilling to get involved - “nothing to do with us squire” - that is unless you live in Scotland, where they dinnae take kindly to such things.

 

There is also a rising wave of crash scams, wherein a n’er-do-well slams on the brakes for no apparent reason, causing you, the unsuspecting rube to smash into the back of them. Cue phoney legal claims and insurance swindles. The lawyers are complicit in some cases too. Just wait ‘till John Grisham hears that there is intrigue in the legal profession.

 

There was also talk of Trident, weather alerts, bagels, crusties, Beirut and being 50.
