Tourist to call the Police in darkness
A few days ago I stayed close to Ripon on a CL, and the first time ever I had to call the police....
Touring the UK quite often I always enjoy staying on a qiet CL, this time not far away from Ripon. As I decided to meet up with friends in the evening I took a taxi from the CL to central Ripon. It was a little bit early, so I walked around the Market Place when suddenly all the lights went off and the alarm at the Yorkshire Bank began sounding.... there were a few people on the Market Place but more confused than anything else - so I thought: What would I do at home? Call the police - so I took my mobile, and less than two mins later an officer approached the place to investigate - all ok, the alarm was due to the power cut.
The next day I sat in a tea room when suddenly all the lights went out again - next power cut. As it was after I got my tea it did not infringe me. The tea was still hot. :-)
