Just heard the latest episode of this story on the news and it still tickles me.

So, what do you do when you find a man throwing toys around in the back of your car and he, allegedly, shouts... "I'm the Bishop of Southwark! it's what I do!"? :rofl:

I'd stop parking my car on Crucifix Lane :lol:
Police have said they are not treating an incident involving the Bishop of Southwark as a mugging.
The Right Reverend Tom Butler suffered head injuries and lost his mobile phone and briefcase after a drinks reception at the Irish embassy on 5 December.

He reported the matter to police thinking he was robbed near his home in Streatham, south London.

A Metropolitan Police spokesman said it was not being treated as a mugging but as a case of missing property.

Paul Sumpter was playing pool in a bar on, ironically, Crucifix Lane, in Bermondsey, when he heard his car alarm sound.

Oh yes. I heard about this on Have I Got News For You. I find the whole thing quite hilarious.
