James Howat-Hurst and his wife Sandra stormed the party with an air-rifle and a home-made Molotov cocktail, after complaining to the police about noise from fireworks.And if you wonder why the police didn't take action, well, they do things differently north of the border...
Armed police turned up to arrest the pair, whose 'extraordinary loss of self-control' was captured by their own CCTV cameras.
The couple phoned police who told them it was Hogmanay and that people would be letting off fireworks.I have a sneaking amount of sympathy for people driven to distraction by noise, but it doesn't seem like wild and noisy parties were a regular occurence here.
And this was Hogmanay...

home-made Molotov cocktail
As opposed to those made by Ronson and sold in every high Street super market, do they mean?
Hoots mon, they are regular - one a year at Hogmanay, the noo. Ye canna be expected to tolerate yon heathen catterwaulin' and cavorting of the half-dressed young hussies at the estate next door EVERY 365 days. 'Tis mooer than flesh can bear. Aye.
ACH! Aweian' biel yer hied Lassie!
(Which is ALWAYS garunteed to cause some confussion here in Berlin.)
"As opposed to those made by Ronson and sold in every high Street super market, do they mean?"
Indeed! I wonder, do they ever read what they write..?
