The story is about a robbery at a bookies in Batley. Me and 2 mates were in the bookies, making bets at 7.47PM that night!

I'm glad we werent in there when they came in, my thoughts are with the staff, who looked terrified just after it happened.

    Nasty. Police shot a man in Brighouse last night as well, what's going on your side of the Pennines?

    I dunno - It never seems to stop though, always people who think they can do whatever they want and not consider the consequences, or others. D-I-C-K-S.

    You've gotta admit though the incident in Worcester is hardly a regular occurence, well I hope not. It seems that people get stabbed every other day in my neighbouring borough - Croydon! :evil:

    You expect it though now don't you. Hearing of someone being stabbed or shot is every day news now. Not taking away the seriousness of each incident, but it happens all the time. Its not a surprise any more, which is disgusting if you think about it.

    Still a bit of a shock though when it actually happens in your world rather than telly world.

    Well, true Jon I guess. Especially at such a close time too. I thought my car might have been in the paper, but there were no photos straight away.

    scum bags, but I fear there will be more of these as monies get tighter
