Dunstans Road - police?

[SCSB79]

Anyone know what was going on this morning on Dunst30?ans road at about 730? A load of police trying to knock in one of the house doors??

[Mark]

I expect they were trying to get in. And I expect there may have been a criminal in there they were trying to get to.

[annaj]

Or suspected criminal Mark, innocent until proven guilty and all that.

[SCSB79]

whoa - that is the funniest reply I've ever read on here. Are you a stand up comedian? You should be if you aren't, totally wasted in your line of work.

[Mark]

ahh yes anna good point, or they have may have kicked in the wrong door in which case there would be no criminal in there (suspected or not).

Where on Dunstans Road was it?

[*Bob*]

steady on, was it your door they kicked in or something?

[themaninblack]

Just wondering where it was as I have an interest in several properties up towards the grass bank in front of the Ladlands estate. Not nice to read when it could be one of your properties and you would potentially never find out about it!

That's not really true as an inference, is it? There could be a criminal (suspected or not) behind any wrong door.

[Mark]

ahh yes ianr good point, I should have said their target criminal (suspected or not) would (most probably) not be behind the wrong door.

I believe there was a doughnut in the house that was nearing its sell-by date.

[jimmy two times]

If it was a drug dealer I hope they torture him for good measure.

[Domitianus]

But did he manage to swallow the doughnut before the filth got it?

Dunstans Road is now a cul-de-sac....

My favourite ED riddle: why does Dunstans Road not have an apostrophe whereas Dunstan's Grove does? (Yes, I really am this sad)

[Moos]

Ady's Road sometimes has an apostrophe and sometimes not. The reason is that the sign-writing people don't like them, so they are being gradually taken away. Dunstan's Grove probably has an older sign.

[ontheedge]

Hinckley Road sign one end

Hinkley Road other end

[SimonM]

Well clearly the sign-writing people are uncivilised language vandals and should be put up against a wall and shot!

[Muley]

Word is that a bunch of stolen apostrophes were being stashed in a gaff in Dunstans Road and police were acting on a tip off from a highly placed source:www.apostrophe.org.uk

[SimonM]

The on dit is that they get sold cheap to local florists and greengrocers....
