Youths cause Halloween mischief

A group of up to 90 youths have been causing trouble in a Wiltshire town.

A number of small fires were lit and fireworks set off. Eggs were thrown at police, buildings, cars and passers-by.

Officers have now dispersed the troublemakers who had gathered in the Pippin car park in Calne, at the rear of the Somerfield supermarket.

A number of arrests were made for public order offences and further inquiries will be undertaken to identify ringleaders, police say.

Town centre was mental last night. Luckily I didn't get pelted by eggs, when drove through.
I heard they lobbing apples at shop windows, as they were banned from buying eggs from certain stores.

I am sure Johno would know some involved.

 There was a ghost walk in Westbury last night, and A couple of my friends went on it. They said it was fun apart from a few of the ghost walkers got egged by some chavs.

Of course, I jest Sadie, Westbury is in Wiltshire, so is a treasure in the crown of England.....any place that could match Seend as the home of the Wiltshire iron making industry has my approval.....as I've recently been visited by a poetic muse,  I'll offer this snippet of Betjeman....who sums up my feelings.

    Was it worth keeping the Halt open,
We thought as we looked at the sky
Red through the spread of the cedar-tree,
With the evening train gone by?

Yes, we said, for in summer the anglers use it,
Two and sometimes three
Will bring their catches of rods and poles and perches
To Westbury, home for tea.

There isn't a porter. The platform is made of sleepers.
The guard of the last train puts out the light
And high over lorries and cattle the Halt unwinking
Waits through the Wiltshire night.

O housewife safe in the comprehensive churning
Of the Warminster launderette!
O husband down at the depot with car in car-park!
The Halt is waiting yet.

And when all the horrible roads are finally done for,
And there's no more petrol left in the world to burn,
Here to the Halt from Salisbury and from Bristol
Steam trains will return.
