Coaxed down
A snippet from the local news section of todays Northern Echo
COAXED DOWN
Police used a chip butty and a packet of cigarettes to help coax down a man who was threatening to jump off the Transporter Bridge in Middlesbrough. The 37 year-old, who had spent more than two hours on top of the bridge, was arrested after the incident on Saturday.
So there you have it. Never mind "Give me a £1m, take me to the airport, and fly me to Brazil or I'll jump". All it takes to get a smoggy down is a chip butty and a packet of fags!!

That is a common event here in Argentina... police coax everyone.. that explain the bad security situation we are in.
Yer i think there was a similar situation 2 years ago on the same brige so they tried to coax him down with a BORO season ticket free----unfortunately he jumped..
What we don't know is what sauce was on the chip butty. If it was Heinz then I can understand why he came down.
Also in reply to MelvinH do you not mean fortunately he jumped?
Jim, you're not suggesting the bridge man was Jewish are you?
