Apparently a recognised and large team possibly a long way from home, but I wouldn't wish to comment further.

I just watched a US video with the trend for steaming a store where lots of people run through, grab valuables and run out. I see this is starting to happen in shopping centres now.

I feel we could stop this if we banned the wearing of grey track suits.
