Run-in with the copper...

This interaction was observed between a policeman and a imp gaggle in a Quckie Mart outside King's Cross Station in London (which has fantastic Fanta selection, our correspondent reports) during an attempted nicking of pixie stix and choco (to put in Sparks, or Diamond White, for snorting through a cra-z straw* while on the tube) from the quickie mart...

Copper: “Oy...what you's doin'? I got a report of candy nickin's in the neighborhood, wot?”

Impsie #1: [in squeaky voice] “No Suh, we wasn't nicking no candies, we sweas!! We's honest payin' customers, we are!”

Impsie #2: [lower, from the back of the pack] "Yeah, we's bought some crisps." [holds them up, just an arm sticking up from the gaggle..they are curry flavor.]

Copper: “Yeah, well I'm watching youse. You lot is thick as thieves, you is..."

Impsie #1: [squeaky] "We ain'ts thick!"

Impsie #2: [lower] "Yeah...and we ain'ts thieves, NEE-vuh..."

[gaggle cackles] "yeah!" "YEAH!!"

[The gaggle scurries about and autoabsconds to go eat pixie stix with pita from Edgeware Rd.]

Of course, they didn't pay for the crisps. It was on the rack right next to where they had been standing. But they took the crisps with them too.


* Here is a pic. Goodness. Well, it's not using a straw; instead, it's using the wrapper itself (anything for a pixfix, they can be very creative...). Notice the remarkable ability to hold the cough and drag while snorting the "pikkie Nikki," as they call it. I don't even know what to say about this. This kind of depravity is so shocking, so striking, even for seasoned impwatchers. No mean feat, I tell you, but if you ever think you've seen everything from the impsies...you are sorely mistaken.
