On the run again in Urmston

I was in a hurry coming out of Sainsburys yesterday so ran a little. I heard hoodlums running behind me (they might have shouted but I'm hard of hearing) so I ran faster. They caught up and stopped me. Two Police Communitiy Officers demanded to go through my two carrier bags and asked why I was running. I said I didn't want to leave my wife on her own with grandson in the park too long. They found my receipts among the gingerbread men, fruit and newspapers and let me go. Then I had to explain to wife why I was late…

Never a dull day for Nelder.

One positive – the policewoman took one of my writing business cards. You never know… she might buy one of my books.
