I was gonna go out drinking last night but a phone call from a good friend of mine changed all that. My friend Jenny has been in Ipswich all week and was gonna be arriving at the local train station at about 10:00. I arrived shortly after to find there was a police car right outside the station. Seems that there had been an incident on the train involving a blind man being assulted by a group of youths.
Jenny had seen a lot of what happened as one of the guys had been trying to chat her up. The blind man had been pushed on to the railway lines and the police were trying to get him off before the next train came in.
Jenny and I made our way to see Bear in the Falcon tavern. I nipped outside briefly to make a phone call and the moment I stepped outside of the pub. At the verry moment I did this a bar fight broke out! Bear (who was running the bar at the time) quickly made a 999 call....
I will finish this post later as I have to go out!
comes back in later
The disturbance was quickly over, a table had been sent flying and glasses smashed but no one was hurt. Just after last orders is called 2 of the guys Jenny recognised as being the youths that assulted the blind man walked in and tried to buy drinks. I pulled Jenny outside and phoned up the police again.
Way too much excitement when you are driving the brightest car in Cambridgeshire.
