Overheard on a station platform:
"Are you allowed to stop and search me? I can tell my boss its the reason I was late for work?"
(A young man, that the tabloid press would probably call a "chav" talking back to a policeman with a clipboard who seemed to be writing notes about him. From the rather jolly tone of voice it sounded more as if he was asking to be searched than protesting against being searched)
Overheard in a pub when a customer who had gone outside was trapped between the inner and the outer door which had been locked while he was outside:
"How'd he get in there anyway?"
"Must be black magic!"
"You can't keep a black man out of any hole he wants to get into"
(The last from the man himself, who is black)
And no, I don't know how he got into the space between two locked doors.
