I’ve found a live mortar shell in Yorkshire, impressive when they blew it up

If it looks like a ring pull sticking out the ground, don't pull it until you know it's not attached to anything !

What do you do if someone runs at you with a pin in their hand. Run, the silly bugga has a grenade in their mouth.

Reminds me of the time I found a 2 inch mortar. Cycled to the petrol station and asked to use their phone, he said no until I said I had found a bomb. Was fun and games with the police until the bomb squad turned up at 3 AM.
