I liked the paragraph following this subline:

"At Ming's Chinese Restaurant, Wrotham Heath, Kent".

However, the rest passed me by. I think you keep the reports far too subtle.

It's good but I think it could be a lot tighter.

We know it's going to be a piss take on mad old folks so you could get there faster.

Also when you hit the bit with him assaulting young people it gets funny and picks up pace.

n.b. why is an old man in posession of an experimental assault rifle that never entered production.

Fantastically obsessive of you to point out Sootyj. Love that kind of eccentricity. I have edited the spoof now to include your wonderful piece of information

I have now tagged on the end........

The EM-2, Also known as Rifle No9 Mk1 or "Janson rifle", was an experimental British assault rifle. However it never went into production due to the United States claiming that it "lacked power". With a range of no more than 2ft it was rendered useless as a long range weapon. However it was still used by some soldiers as a club in arm to arm combat.
