OK, his fashion-choice of leg covering and footwear might be somewhat ill-advised hereabouts.
Hey, has anyone noticed the number of "suspicious" 4x4 vehicles with blacked-out windows which park on, and block, the pavements outside schools in Alderley for half an hour every day before the kids tip out?
I look forward to hearing the police advice is to reassure us about this (surely far more sinister) threat.
