Attempted knifepoint robbery, in an Indian!

When I started working for a large door around Leeds bars and clubs closed a lot earlier, mine was at two am so we either went out for a few or, once a month or so, would all meet when we finished for a sit down curry and catch up.  There could be up to 30 doormen having a slap up meal in an empty restaurant in the middle of the night, still in our work gear chilling out the owner loved us, and why wouldn't he?  We have him loads of extra custom when he'd normally be closed and we never made a mess as we were sober! Well mostly.

It was around 3 on a Saturday night when we were relaxing, having food and chatting away when the front door burst open and two skinny youths brandishing stanly knives ran to the counter near the door where the owner was tidying away some menus.

They seemed to slow down mid run to a stop and in unison turned to face the, as they must have thought was empty, restaurant.

The room was silent as we watched as both their hands holding the knives dropped slowly to their sides and then, as one, sprint straight back out of the door into the night! 

The first snigger began a few seconds later then we were all in fits of laughter as the owner came to us all shouting "I love you all, nobody try steal from me again!" 

He started shaking out hands and a free round or two of drinks came our way, very nice of him it was too.   I wish we'd be able to see their faces which must have been a picture being greeted by a room full of shaven headed, mostly oversized men all dressed in black staring straight at them!
