Embedded Files
Set in the 1970s, the story follows a day in the life of Arthur Pickering. An ex-army man, now dedicated to being a school crossing "lollypop" patrolman.
Arthurs strong dislike of motorist’s bad manners and yobs is tempered by the love of his job as he continues his crusade against modern society.
With his mischievous sense of humour and his little black book of misdemeanours, he is loved by some, terrifies the motorist, and feared by the rest

Richard Stamp started shuffling about from side to side, like an England goalkeeper waiting to save a penalty shot. Arthur's eyes widened then started watering as his head went back. There was a slight hesitation, and Richard Stamp thought he was saved, but then, with a sudden flick of the head, Arthur let out an almighty sneeze. Richard made a desperate lunge, his arm at full stretch, but too late, Arthur's top set of teeth shot out with the speed and accuracy of a guided missile, then embedded themselves into a Mars Bar on the top shelf of the chocolate display.
Two children giggled, one woman screamed, and Mrs Harlow had to sit down and ask for a glass of water.
Richard put his hands over his eyes, in the vain hope it was all a dream, and hoped he wouldn’t be there when he opened them again.
