  A wag on social media said that the police statement went like this, We would like to thank the chap with the AK 47 for pointing out who had thrown down the sweet wrapper".

  Storm in the proverbial teacup! But no doubt somebody well-intentioned.

  Certainly a storm in a teacup but I am not so sure about well intentioned considering this quote from the Dover Express......
  
  "The Express understands the person who contacted police about a firearm changed her story several times, spoke only broken English and at one point claimed someone else had taken her phone to make the call."

  I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.
