A man went bezerk in a Sheffield betting shop yesterday afternoon, bullying customers and smashing TV screens.
The man walked into the bookies in Sheffield City Centre at 3.30pm and placed £200 on a horse called Harbour Law running in the 3.45pm at Doncaster at odds of 22/1. The horse won the race and as it crossed the finishing line the man jumped on top of a chair and did a nazi salute. He then barged over to the counter and demanded his money.
A shop worker who has asked not to be named said "His bet paid £4,600 and I had to wait 15 minutes to get the cash out of the safe. While the man was waiting he was throwing pens at customers, scrunching up betting slips and making monkey noises. Eventually I paid him his money and he pulled a £5 note from his winnings, crushed it into a ball and threw it at my head and said "Go and get yourself a drink porky" - he was such a horrible man"
The man continued gambling throughout the afternoon and was repeatedly seen rolling up betting slips and snorting cocaine as bemused customers looked on. Eye witness Dave Nibble said "The man started to lose his money and started getting more and more irate. I saw him lose 1000 in the roulette machine in about 5 minutes. He picked up a chinese customer and threw him out of the shop. The poor bloke landed on top of a moving taxi"
The man placed his last £100 on a dog race and unfortunately his selection was bumped on a corner, finishing the race in last place. The man then punched several TV screens and dived through the main window of the shop before running off down the street.
PC Ken Grobbelaar of South Yorkshire Police said "We are looking for a white man aged between 40-50, approx 5ft in height. He was wearing black leather trousers, a black leather vest and white knee length leather boots. He had a thick gold chain round his neck and spoke with a London accent

I am surprised the staff did not call the police
Still the manager was probably told he could not call the police until the punter had lost his £4600 back
He sounds some site, I would have thought someone would have known him

staff saw him taking drugs and allowed him to continue betting
hmmmmm......

He wouldn't have carried on like that had Purple Aki been there.
He wouldn't have done that in CMAT's shop. Or maybe he did and that's why he had to leave London for Sheffield. 
Remember the Hills shop next to Hen & Chicken boozer dusty? A surreal place at weekends

5ft tall and he threw a Chinese customer out of the shop and onto a moving taxi?
Who was he, Precious McKenzie?
We'll have to ask Dave Nibble

If he'd been paid £4,600 (unlikely amount of cash to keep in the shop, unless its a busy machine shop), I'd have thought he wouldn't have been paid in fivers.

Ron, one would have to be insane to believe this is a true story 
White, knee-length, leather boots! 
I'm surprised he never had the carp beaten out of him in the street on the way to the bookies....

Almost as plausible as the Clinton body double story.
5ft high, wearing black leather, giving the Nazi salute and betting horses 
Sounds like Goebbels or one of the Royal family

AND, No stranger would EVER get £200 on at 22/1.
that is what I was thinking, unless they were laying back on b/f as King Of Dubai suggested
You don't believe it crags...that is no surprise
you need to take it up on Facebook
I don't know why anybody would make a spoof story of this though?

I believed it all about a 5ft midget, cross dresser, throwing tellies about and beating up Jackie Chan but the bit about someone getting £200 on a horse in a shop was too much to be true

They would if it was 40s on Betfair as mentioned above. Would be classed as a mug bet mote than likely despite the amount.
My mate, working with me has got 200 and more on Hugh Taylor double figure odds selections at advosed price although they seem to have tightened up.

I used to be in the same class as Dave Nibbles son at school Poker - small world
a good steady customer for the bookmaker...
what the bookmaker hates is you leaving with the winnings.
so who's complaining?

I vaguely recall a bookies on the corner with bu stop outside from memory but I've only ever been in a bookies around three times in my life.
I recall you the hen and chickens very well though I was a regular there and the Norfolk arms to a lesser extent around 20 years ago.
Criminals and judges got drunk side by side

Another story from the same source :-
WOMAN BANNED FOR LIFE ON BRADFORD BUSES
A woman has received a lifetime ban from a Bradford bus company after repeatedly breaking wind in their vehicles. On one occasion a driver was physically sick.
Bradford Magistrates Court heard how Yolande Pogba, aged 48 from Lumb Lane, Bradford revelled in what she was doing and on most occasions would bend over to create the maximum impact.
On 18th June 2016, Mrs Pogba (pictured) boarded a packed bus at Bradford Interchange and crouched next to an elderly gentleman. As the bus set off, she let off an excruciating sound from her bottom. Mrs Pogba, clearly impressed with her actions then shouted "Some bastard has squashed a Frog"
The bus company recorded 148 separate incidents. On the 22nd June, she boarded a bus in Holmewood and forced her way into the drivers cab, repeatedly breaking wind, cupping her hands and rubbing the atrocious smell into the drivers face until he was sick.
Solicitor Rick Head, representing Mrs Pogba asked for the court to be sympathetic "My client is addicted to Jamaican Rum and kidney beans and unfortunately this brings out the worst in her personality and makes her bottom talk"
The court fined Mrs Pogba £375 and ordered her to pay £20 compensation to the bus driver - Mr Bob Aloo Bhuna. She was also sentenced to 120 hours community service.

Still can't believe that some people fell for this... and not just by glancing at it, but hours after it was posted and taking into account the replies, they still thought it was true... now we know how Brexit triumphed 
The country is booming since Brexit crags.
