    There are a number of shops in Liverpool city centre that have signs up requesting that people take off hats and hood when entering. I'm not sure they'd hassle the little old ladies to remove theirs, but I bet they'd tackle the dodgy looking youths about it (or the other way round depending on the bravery of the security guard ;) ).

    Let me know when you are doing this so I can be there as a witness! :love:

    The cerebral scarring created by your mankini pic is an ever present reminder of that fact. :(

    ...This is why we have laws about indecent exposure.

    :D

    If Mitch wears his mankini he'll still get complaints about his helmet.

    I'm assuming some sort of rolling paper with which to do drug bidniss.

    I don't have any stats, but using google image search as a sample pool, searching for "uk armed robbery cctv" yields a lot of hoods and scarves, a good number of bike helmets, and no emos.

    No, but the further out the CCTV coverage, the further robbers have to traverse to get in the place they want to rob, making it more likely that they won't get the drop on the staff and someone will call the police.

    If everyone in a jewellers were wearing skid lids, it would be rather easy for armed robbers to do their job, wouldn't it?

    Not at all!

    It is illegal to sell drug paraphernalia!

    King size Rizla are for people who like a longer cigarette. Obviously.

    See? The emos are invisible!

    But unless there is a policy to immediately press the panic button it makes no difference.

    Someone outside sees blokes in hoods/helmets entering a shop and phone the cops.

    Vs.

    Someone sees blokes in hoods/helmets entering a shop and thinks nothing of it.

    But back with the OP we're discussing a guy going to the kiosk, almost certainly next to the main door specifically so people can nip in and get fags quickly, wearing a helmet that shows his face, and being told to remove it. Not a gang entering a jewellers en masse :)

    I thought the guy was entering the shop, not just going to a kiosk window?

    I read it as he was going into a Tesco supermarket to get papers. The tobacco kiosk is normally situated near the main entrance in supermarkets, so that people can get fags, newspapers, lottery tickets etc without having to go through the body of the store or pass through the normal tills.

    Oh right, I thought you meant the kiosk window at a Tesco garage.

    No way would I let someone through the door with a crash helmet on. Not with that amount of untraceable cash in the building.

    Even though their face was visible?

    Yes, because you're still obscuring parts of the face, especially from the angle of ceiling-mounted CCTV cameras.
