Armed !?

A few years ago a mate of mine lived in a house share in Chorlton with this lad from Yemen who was over here for university. I went round for dinner once and said guy started showing me pictures of his family and his house in Yemen etc. All very innocent and interesting, then he showed me the photos of the machine guns and sniper rifles they kept on the roof in case of oncoming intruders!

Very cool but also terrifying that on some parts of the world you need to have that stuff.

From the look of the house it seemed like his family had a few quid.

Don’t bother locking my front door half the time tbh.

We once had an intruder during the night round here, turned out to be a Shetland pony called George, someone had left the gate open and the thick moocher had left hoof prints on our lawn, we soon tracked down the culprit though. We sometimes wake up to gangs of marauding sheep crapping on the drive outside, the bastards. We didn't press charges for fear of reprisals.
 
Once when we had snow a neighbour let me know there were deep footprints right up to my windows at the front of my bungalow , lucky the curtains are closed all the time, made me spooked
 
I have to my left a rather large machete and in front of me is a 5 inch switchblade. we live in a safe area and the only crime is petty, pickpockets etc. In Panama I slept with a 14 inch bowie knife under the pillow.
However I feel safer here than in the UK, also if the local communa catch a criminal here they will plead for the police to be called....its not pretty to watch !
