It was genuinely thought that riots might have broken out this summer due to the effects of the pandemic - like closing the oatcakes shops and anywhere which sells Wright's pies - but the closest I've ever been to seeing riotous behaviour in my 38 years in Stoke is when the Teenage Mutant Turtles first went on sale at Toys R Us.
