Hopscotch now illegal?

TWO children have been told off by police for playing hopscotch.

Two Community Support officers noted four or five chalked grids on a pavement and traced the culprits.

They told them they had drawn too many - and made them fetch a bucket of water and scrub all but one off.

I am so glad to see that our law enforcement have their priorities in order and I am glad to see that they have officially made that pesky hopscotch game illegal. In fact hopscotch must be worse than terrorism. It blights streets and neighbourhood. These scum must be caught. /sarcasm off.
