Pensioners’ pot plant shock
http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/f...12/Canibis.jpg
An elderly couple innocently bought a shrub from a car boot sale – and
ended up growing the biggest cannabis plant police had ever seen.

The pensioners, from Bedford, planted the drug in their garden, unaware
that what they were growing was illegal.

Police were astonished when they spotted the enormous plant and spoke of
their shock discovery on their Twitter account, saying: “Seized today.
Elderly couple bought shrub at car boot sale, tended carefully – biggest
cannabis plant we had seen.” A spokesman for the force told the BBC the
plant would be collected and disposed of, and that no action would be
taken against the couple.

Bring an amusing thought to mind. Perhaps if the police had not
destroyed it the couple would have decided to get rid of it and bunt it
on a bonfire. all the district then would have enjoyed a chill out!

Another of the advantages of "pensioner" status.
Benefit of any doubt in such matters always in our favour !!!

Even when we scoot backwards at mid-night up the wrong side of the M6
with no lights in the fast lane !!!!!!!!
