In fairness, you'd have to be quite gusty to try something like that in the first place.

 

[Chester Copperpot]

It's certainly showing a lot of front.

Anyone who'se been to Chandlers Ford will know this'll keep the curtain twitchers in gossip, hearsay and conjecture over coming months...

"This is out of the ordinary for sleepy Chandler's Ford so we are all a bit shook up"

That's what you get for building your town too near Eastleigh I suppose.

FYI:

The two men shot dead during a foiled bank robbery in Hampshire were from south London, it has been revealed.

Andrew Markland, 36, and Mark Nunes, 35, from Brixton were shot outside an HSBC branch in Chandler's Ford.

Update:

Shot Mark Nunes and Andrew Markland 'had armour-piercing bullets'

Nunes was shot as he pointed a gun at the guard, the inquest heard

Two robbers shot dead by police marksmen were armed with armour-piercing bullets, an inquest heard.

Mark Nunes, 35, and Andrew Markland, 36, both from London, were shot as they held up a G4S van in Hampshire in 2007...

Earlier in the inquest, the jury was shown police footage of Nunes being shot as he pointed a gun at the head of a security guard.

Central Hampshire coroner Grahame Short told jurors Markland then "appeared" to pick up the gun before being shot by another marksman.

Post-mortem examinations found Nunes died from a high-velocity gunshot wound to the chest which exited through the neck and Markland died from two separate high-velocity gunshot wounds to the chest.
