...it was only after it emerged there was no one to pay for his cakes that he was rumbled.

Rumbled? Like in the Jets and the Sharks?

"But we recognise that this incident raises issues about whether the mechanism could be re-designed to stop it happening again.{snip}"

Ya think?

This is actually kind of a cute story. Kid escapes school, takes a city bus and tries to purchase cakes. It could have been tragic. What an enterprising little kid.

What exactly constitutes "cake" in England? Enquiring minds want to know.

Aaran Taylor failed to arouse suspicion as he pushed a trolley taller than him through the Tesco store...

Must be stronger than he looks.

Reminds me of my ex sister-in-law.

She went to a Catholic elementary school where she had an ancient, deaf nun as a teacher. They could walk out of class, walk across the street to a tortilla factory, buy a quarters worth of broken chips, walk back into class and loudly eat the chips without the nun being the wiser.

I always loved that story.

Tesco's looks like Wal Mart on steroids with better quality goods.

Reminds me of my oldest brother, who drove my mother frantic because he would follow the trash truck down the alley because he was so fascinated by them. Whenever Mom heard the trash truck coming she had to make sure where he was or else he'd end up half a mile down the road if he got loose.

This would have been in the late 40's or early 50's, when trash trucks were really cool! And a little kid could count on some good Samaritan coming along to bring him home. :)

How did the kid manage the bus ride without money? A pass? Under 10 for free?

What I want to know is did they let him have the cakes after all that? (since there was no one there with him who had cash and all)

Who was it that said the Americans and the English were two peoples separated by a common language?

Also, I predict this kid will go far. He is obviously a self-starter. (No telling what that term means to the Brits.)

Aaran managed to evade a child-proof electronic gate...

Let me guess...he opens his grandma's prescription bottles for her, too.
