Flooding isn't the only thing that happens in York!

An ‘incredibly inept’ burglar was caught hanging upside down from his shoelaces after getting stuck on a window frame inside a woman’s flat in York.

But at least he can tie his shoelaces. Took me over six years to learn how to do that.
Then in programming school, like the rest of my class, i failed to write an algorithm to tie shoelaces with a knot and two single bows!

FWIW his conversion from drunk&disordelry[sic} to straight-laced must have been near-instantaneous.

Thank goodness they invented Velcro.
