World's politest, most courteous armed robber

[Jonno]

BBC News - CCTV footage released of hold up

Now that's the way to hold up a petrol station, with a touch of class.

It just goes to show that armed robbery doesn't need to be a stressful experience, kids take note.

I have to say, I find that really depressing, that someone can reach such a level of desperation to support his family, that he does something in front of cameras, has got him caught and likely jailed and therefore even less able to support his family.

[Biscuit]

How awful. I feel sorry for the both of them.

Typical good businessman that shopkeeper... Tries the haggle, then when that fails he pays out the smaller notes, leaving the bigger notes in the last tray then shutting the till quickly!! Ha ha

No doubt his family will now qualify for welfare.
