Now, I have never been to a car boot sale. If I had, however, I very much doubt, that I would have been in the market for a cannabis plant.
Indeed, I very much doubt that the elderly couple from Bedford, Buckinghamshire had that intent either. When they purchased a small shrub from a vendor at one such sale and planted it in their garden, they did not realise that such a plant was exactly what they had purchased.
The shrub went from strength to strength, and was soon the giant plant that you can see on the left. Police were quite astonished when they discovered the plant, and promptly removed it from the couple's garden.
The couple claimed to have no idea what they had purchased, and received no further charge from the police. Now, either the couple did not realise the illegality of what they were doing, and this was all a hilarious coincidence, or there was more to the pensioners than met the eye.
In which case, I really need to revaluate my opinion of the elder generation.
