I don’t care what people say, Macclesfield folk have some brilliant ideas. Where else would you hear a suggestion to power the police station by incinerating cannabis?

Considering the tons of it grown in and around this area I think it’s a stroke of genius.

According to an eco-company, confiscated hash could be a great power source saving energy bills by heating up Macclesfield police station.

Can you imagine the effect of all those fumes?

"Hello, is that Macclesfield police?"

"Yeah, whatever."

"There’s a man on our roof."

"It’s probably Santa."

"He’s wearing some kind of Super Hero costume."

"Cool."

"And he’s carrying a gun."

"If he fires it at you press button one, if he misses press button two and if he hits you…ah well, you won’t need a button."

"Officer, are you taking this seriously?"

"Don’t have a cow, man. I’m chillin’, innit?"

"Where can I find your superior officer?"

"Last time I saw him he was climbing up someone’s wall dressed as Spiderman."

A dope-powered police station. In any other town it’d be a joke, right?

You’d probably get locked up in Wilmslow for even suggesting it but remember … this is Macc.

I rest my case.
