When ds (15) and his friends got stopped by the police the other night.......

[BackforGood]

.......... he was honest enough to tell them (when asked what they were up to) that they were playing hide and seek!

Ha that's so sweet

I understand the police officers did too! (laugh that is, not join in with the Hide and Seek )

My boy is a scout and he and his team have been challenged a few times when skulking around in the dark. Once by a very scary man who rushed out of the pub convinced they were nicking his petrol and roared at them.
They were hiding behind his ridiculously huge 4x4 as part of an escape and evasion activity.
Another time they were doing emergency first aid and improvising a stretcher, and the police turned up having been alerted by a passing motorist that a gang was carrying a body to bury.
I think some denizens of my low crime area county lack excitement in their lives.
His troop must keep the local police in practise though.

Anyone remember this incident?
