Al-Murad

Al-Murad has three notices displayed around his premises. One says he opens at 7.30, one says he opens at 8.00 and the third says he opens at 9.30.

It's the third you want to believe- as we found out when we called at his shop at 8.30 last Friday.

We went back this morning at 9.30.to find him kneeling outside his front door. There was a bald guy with a blow torch kneeling beside him. Turns out someone had filled all his locks with super glue.
