Scribbling #29: Lollipop person with a gun

In good ol' Blighty we have a brigade of older ladies that are affectionately called 'Lollipop women'.  These superior beings stand in the middle of the road early in the morning or later on in the evening with a sign that says something along the lines of 'Stop, children', so as to stop traffic for the school kids. In Slovakia, I've just noticed that Slovaks have a similar thing, except that the police do it with a small red stop sign, but on the other hand, they've got guns.

...

I would stop for them.
