Naked at the roundabout

They call themselves the Chorley Idiots - and they might be right!
Two young men have filmed themselves running naked across a Chorley roundabout late at night and uploaded the video on to the internet website, YouTube.

The incident took place at about 2am on what appears to be the McDonald's roundabout between Union Street, Clifford Street and Portland Street.
The lads ran into the middle of the deserted road before having the bare cheek to streak around the roundabout. They then jump back over the wall to get dressed.

One then jumps back in front of the camera and shouts: 'Chorley!'
At the nearest pub to the roundabout, Trader Jacks, landlord Mike Wilkinson said: "I've no idea who they are, but it's no one from this pub."
One drinker joked: "Looking at the pictures it must have been a cold night. Next
time they should come one roundabout up then we can watch out of the window."

But another was surprised that the police would be taking no action: "You get fined £80 for having a wee in a back street," he said. "But these lads are running stark naked on a roundabout - it's indecent exposure."

Insp Ian Roberts of Chorley police said: "It is very difficult to say at this stage whether any offences have been committed." The video has been viewed nearly 500 times. One viewer from Canada, known as 'sharkin4' said: "You crazy English lunatics!"

The Chorley Idiots themselves commented: "This was a brilliant night!"
