    PMSL at this - especially when the inmates get to find how hard the 2 light fingered scallies are. </p>

    AN 80-year-old woman re-created a famous scene from the film Crocodile Dundee to tackle a knife-wielding burglar.</p>

    [​IMG]</p>

    Winifred Whelan, from Liverpool, was threatened in her home by a man brandishing a 10-inch knife.</p>

    The pensioner grabbed a larger carving knife from her kitchen before shouting: &quot;That's not a knife, this is a knife!&quot;</p>

    Mrs Whelan was quoting the famous line from Crocodile Dundee when the film's star Paul Hogan brandishes a hunting knife at a mugger.</p>

    She told a newspaper: &quot;I said to the robber: &quot;You call that a knife?&quot; His was around 10 inches long and I had a carving knife measuring about 14 inches.</p>

    &quot;I pointed it at his belly and said: &quot;This is a knife!&quot;&quot;</p>

    Two men were jailed at Liverpool Crown Court in connection with the incident, which happened last September.</p>

    Can they make their mind up?

    The pensioner grabbed a larger carving knife from her kitchen before shouting: "That's not a knife, this is a knife!"

    She told a newspaper: "I said to the robber: "You call that a knife?....This is a knife!""


    So she wasn't actually quoting from Crocodile Dundee, in fact I'd think the last thing on her mind was to quote from a film!

    Good on her though!
