Beware Thy Neighbour

[Robtel]

Reported in two tabloid Scottish newspapers today is the story of the caravanner who ended up in court this week following an incident on a campsite near Aberfoyle last July.

Apparently a group of tent campers after a visit to a local pub started a sing song at 1.30am. The caravanner "grabbed a foot long butcher's machete and stormed their tent" threatening to use the weapon if they woke his 9 year old son. One of the campers tried to apologise but was promptly chased off for his efforts.

The caravanner was sentenced to 200 hours community service and 15 months probation.

So next time you are having a drink or chat with friends late at night just think for a moment... could this guy with his machete be in the next pitch!!!

Happy Camping

Why on earth take a machette on a caravan holiday? I am lucky if I can find a sharp knife in the cutlery drawer let alone a machette. I think he went a bit over the top unless of course he had also been drinking and was not fully aware of what he was doing. Even so that does not give him the freedom of using the form of threatening behaviour he demonstrated.

We live in a country of some 60 million people. Some of them will be a bit odd.

He is described as a 39 year old property dealer who had spent time in prison previously, the caravanner that is not L.B. Don't think that would be our lordship, anyway he would send a flunkey round to sort them out.

Just wonder why anyone would have a foot long machete with them anyway?

Why did you keep glancing at me when you said that?

True Rob, why use a machette if I'm going to bloody my hands. Apart from that my hands are as soft as a babby's a$$ so I don't want callouses. I'd get one of my serfs to do it.

Lord B was driven demented by the Scottish midges and mistakenly thought he could massacre them all with his machete. ) )
