eqtworld: Only in Alabama is that legal.

If it were in America the word 'tree' would be replaced by 'little girl' and there would certainly be some dispute over his constitutional right about using a gun or some other crazy retarded thing like your average disgustingly retarded American.

Wow madblader, are you going for exceptionally retarded?

When I was a kid, the neighbors would be man-enough to come outside and yell at us for playing in the trees. These retarded brits seem to just call the cops for everything!

When they start ticketing children for laughter, then will you know the end is near.

Way to 'shop out the adult you pedo!

Walker: It's the boy with the mohawk. Something tells me this won't be the last time he has a run in with the police.

Oh yes, a haircut is a clear indication of criminal behavior.


No, but it IS a good indication that he'll probably be stopped frequently for made-up reasons once he starts driving.

/Well he would in the USA at least, don't know about Europe.

The cop that patrolled my neighborhood stopped and yelled at me and my friends almost daily during the summer months.

We were loud and obnoxious just like those kids were probably.

Just smiling and noddding: sigdiamond2000: Instead the nine-year-old was left 'terrified' after a PCSO gave him a stern warning for climbing a tree, leaving him standing in the park with paperwork to fill out.

The boy, who lives in Germany, was visiting his cousins in Churchdown, Gloucester, and his parents now fear he will be too scared to return to England.

This is just one more example of the pussification of America.

Wait, what?

What's it got to do with America?

FTA: It was explained that no criminal offence had taken place and that they were not in trouble but, in accordance to national policy, they had to be given a Stop and Account form to show where and why they were spoken to.

Okay, so instead the police just swung by to illegally harass children because some mentally ill neighbor doesn't like kids at the park climbing trees, or whatever. What about writing a ticket to/giving a taser enema to the douchebag who calls the cops on some kids climbing a tree?

Anyway, really smart, England: keep messing with the Germans. When they re-remilitarize and focus all their world-class engineers on crushing your country and its shaky economy, don't say nobody told you it was a bad idea.

BlowPopGirl: /old enough to remember when cops were someone Mom and Dad encouraged us to trust.

Those days are long gone. But I still trust the police a little bit: when global depression strikes and anarchy becomes the rule of law, I trust them to stay lit when I pile them up in the middle of the street.

I guess what I meant is how did you get that border affect around the text if you were to use something like GIMP or PS

As an ex-pat Brit, I think this just shows our latent ability to send Germans packing.

Reading news from England nowadays, you have to wonder why they bothered to fight them.

Only if your only news of England is from the Daily Fail (or other tabloids). It's like if my only news of America was from Fox, probably worse.

Basil: Don't mention the war. I mentioned it once, but I think I got away with it. So it's all forgotten now and let's hear no more about it. So that's two egg mayonnaise, a prawn Goebbels, a Herman Goering and four Colditz salads....no, wait a minute...I got confused because everyone keeps mentioning the war.

German: Will you stop mentioning the war?

Basil: You started it.

German: We did not start it.

Basil: Yes you did, you invaded Poland...

Don't mind sigdiamond2000, he's either a retard that is a little lost, a troll, or c) both.

According to the article, the ticket had nothing to do with tree-climbing. It was for "rude and anti-social behavior." I'm not sure when it became a crime to be rude and anti-social. But now that I think about it, we'd probably be better off if it was a crime -- it's not like parents today make any effort to teach their kids manners.

Was it The Special Branch who nicked him?

soosh: except for the fact that they didn't ticket the kid and it wasn't for the tree-climbing, that's a pretty cool story.

THIS...except, I didn't really think the story was cool

I'm gonna go with the neighbor being a Blitz survivor who freaked out upon hearing German being shouted in the park. Or just an ultra-nationalist who gets pissed off whenever he hears someone speaking a foreign language in his country (said anger probably being directed to Welsh just as quickly).

So did the German kids put a towel on the branches to reserve the tree?

Now we just need more cops to keep the kids off our lawns.

Neighbor near park: "So I'm sitting in the garden looking for a fag when I hear some little yob in a tree making all sorts of racket, so I tells him 'F*ck off ya little dickhead!' Then the little wanker starts speaking some kind of bollocks nazi talk, so I called the rozzers on the little prick."

/Did I do it right?

phlegmmo: It's because British trees 'arbor terrorists.

That's groan-worthy, but still awesome.

*golf clap*

FTA:
"A PCSO was sent to talk to the children who explained to them that their behaviour had upset one of the neighbours, and that it would be better if they played further away from the houses to avoid any further upset."

'Ok, biatch, move the tree!'

Leave it to the Brits to out-German the Germans. It's getting hard to keep track of who gets stereotyped as the severest anymore.
