I saw a strange phenomenon last Thursday, walking through the town centre I saw two PCs strolling along, each holding a new, wooden broom handle.
Thought it was odd, walked further to the Post Office and another PC passed me, also holding a new, wooden broom handle. Having posted my letter, what should I see but all three PCs with someone against a wall, being searched (one PC holding 2 broom handles so his mate had hands free to pat the guy down).
I'm sure someone on this forum can think of a sensible explanation.
It did occur to me that with the prevalence of knife crime, a broom handle extends your each a good 2 feet beyond the reach of present batons, and less likely to cause serious injury. (Cheaper too than extending metal batons, an example of Yorkshire thrift and ingenuity!)
Unless they are going to fit besom broom heads and play Quidditch?
