Riots in my home country

There isn't much humour to be found in what's happening in the UK at the moment. I grew up in England near London and then spent many years in the north-west and then the east-midlands and those are the places the riots in England are occurring. I'm sure it's just a coincidence but maybe I forgot to turn off the gas when I left or something. Sorry!

In any case, you can always find something funny in any situation.

I confess to getting a wry chuckle out of this:

"While the looters had cleared out the stock of Currys, Claire's Accessories and Phones4U, nearby Waterstone's had been left "without a scratch", she says."
(http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-14475741).

A waterstones employee was allegedly quoted saying: "We'll probably stay open, if they steal some books they might actually learn something".
