The "Mad Hatters" All-Female Criminal Ring

Alex

Who says that criminals have to look as bad as their horrible actions? Meet the "Mad Hatters," an all-female pickpocket ring made up of middle-aged and elderly women in Detroit who sport stylish hats:

"We know they're an organized group because when we looked at the incidents, the person suspected of stealing a wallet wasn't the person committing the fraud," Riley said. "We'd get a report of a white female in the area suspected of theft and then a black female would commit the credit card fraud.

"The common denominator between the suspects is that they all are wearing hats at the time of the theft and-or fraud, which has caused the group to be dubbed the 'Mad Hatters' by the financial institutions," the Sterling Heights Police Department said in a statement.

The hats run the gambit from floppy beach hats to a variety of berets colored black, white and blue.

If Hollywood doesn't come up with a movie inspired by this gang soon, I'll eat my hat: Link

"As foreigners advanced, archers would shoot arrows at them through tiny slits in the castle walls that allowed them to see out without letting enemies see in."

Not quite right. It was the foreigners (The Normans) who built the castles.

I didn't know that Britain only consisted of England, that Tesco sold 24 cans of Stella for £4, that you can get housing benefit if you have savings over 16,000 and that you can buy a pint for around a pound.
Oh, because none of it is correct, that will be why.

e0cs0r is correct - the article is staggeringly incorrect.
If the writer of it is British then she lives in a totally different Britain to the rest of us (even allowing for the passage of time).

Also I've been to the doctors several times in the last few years (both for myself, with my wife and with our young son) and I don't remember ever having to wait for longer than about 15 minutes. Appointments are usually available the same day if my son is ill or it's something that can't wait. If it's something non vital then you are usually seen the following day. I appreciate anecdote does not = evidence but it's yet another time when an article does down our (free at the point of need) health service when it's pretty damned amazing!
