Pensioner

I remember being told as a youngster to always respect your elders but it seems that it’s not always the case these days.

A 64-year old man, living in sheltered accommodation in Lincolnshire, who is said to be suffering from Parkinson’s disease, has been taken to court for burglary.

The pensioner, had forced open the back door of a menswear store in the town and filled his bags with clothing worth an estimated £500, however, when staff turned-up at the store they found his mobility scooter parked at the front.  They then heard footsteps in the store room above but the sprightly old boy made his get away and rode off on his scooter.

Unfortunately, he had forgotten his swag, which he apparently intended to collect later but never made it back to the store.

The old man pleaded guilty to the offence and his medication has been increased.  He was given a conditional discharge of 18 months and had to pay court costs of £60.

Next there was the drunk granny, who tried to drive her car up a stone staircase, normally for pedestrian use, after leaving her aerobics class.

The 74-year-old, admitted drinking before and after the fitness class and then attempting to drive herself home, but her car got wedged at the top of the stairs and emergency services were called.

The incident happened in Cambridgeshire on November 5th, after already reversing into a stone wall in the car park before missing the exit ramp and heading for the pedestrian exit.

She was breathalysed at the scene which proved to be positive leading to an 18 month driving ban, a £350 fine and was ordered to pay costs of £60 plus a £15 victim surcharge.
