Steve, & Rusty,
What's that old Brit saying? Something to the effect
of 'a pistol in the hand beats two in the pocket'? <chuckle!>
Sorry, I just couldn't resist, with the level of stupidity
that is exhibited by the regular criminal -- everywhere!
I guess that the average Brit ain't gonna put up with
some bloke depriving him of his ale money, eh? Neither would I!

Let's just say that the crook who stands in front of a bar
and stops people buying a drink or stands in front of the TV
(especially if football is on) is standing in a very dangerous
place.
Steve.
