Re: To my shame...
Once about 20 years ago, l was a bit naughty and said, l was an off duty police officer to some schoolgirls in Boots.
They were grabbing handfuls of cosmetics and putting them in their pockets.
I asked them to put them back and they did... then they ran out of the store.
I would never do it again as l could be arrested! The staff weren’t exactly bothered. By the time they sent security over the girls had gone.
