Sheriff Kevin is back on his bench in Duns and has had to deal with a 'touch of summer madness' (says the
Berwickshire) This was to do with a 22 year old student who created a disturbance in Eyemouth and challenged the police to arrest him-which 'they duly did' He was then rearrested after being released on the first charge of disturbing the peace and having forcibly demanded to get back into the station was as 'duly' arrested again. 'A touch of summer madness' claimed his brief and apparently the demon drink was a contributory factor. Sheriff Kevin, perhaps in a relaxed mood after his hols deferred sentence for six months 'for good behaviour'; presumably in a future tense rather than the immediate past.
The good sheriff also fined a Reston teenage £150 for acting in a 'racially aggravated manner' in Eyemouth. No other details so it may be that she had fallen out with her English boy friend? Or it could have been one of those Polish plumbers who are rumoured to be working in the Chirnside area but I have yet to meet any one who has actually seen such a person. Very welcome they will be in these parts where good plumbers are like golddust and by the time you can get one to call, the problem has either solved itself or the entire house has been washed away from a massively enlarged and long neglected leak. It may have been (suggests an occasional bloggee) that the foreign plumber (if it was he) misunderstood an urgent request from the young lady
As Shakespeare may have put it :
There was a young plumber of Dee,
Plumbing a girl by the sea.
Said the Girl 'Cease your plumbing
I can hear some one coming'
Said the Plumber, still plumbing, 'Its me!'
