I recently watched a local bicycle policeman ride across a road, across the pedestrian divider across the other carriageway onto the pavement on the other side and away, around the local shops. I wonder if he's taken his cycling proficiency test?

Ian,

Do you get out much, these days?

I'm sure there are some good remedies for hallucinations these days. ;-)

I genuinely cannot remember the last time I saw a local bobby.

Cheers

I was behind a police car yesterday-foot on brake at every stop and elbow out of window.

Better than vice versa, anyway!

Elbow out of the window, eh?

Whatever next - that reduces control and looks 'slack'. Apparently.

Ah yes, neil! That bit in Roadcraft always brought a smile to my face :-)

I can. It was in a basement flat in Peckham in 1982. He plodded along the pavement above, and the street light cast a perfectly detailed shadow of a giant in a policeman's helmet walking across the wall.

Local Policing Officers turn into pumpkins if they go out after dark. Poor old response officers have to take on the extra work as usual 24/7.

Thats because the local plod might be on foot and then they run the risk of being blinded by oncoming headlights!! :)

Sorry couldn't resist!

People always get that wrong. It's the plodmobile that would turn back into a pumpkin. The policemen would have to turn back into Cinderellas, each leaving a boot behind of course, at the Local Policing Officers Other Ball.

Surely only the Commander would turn into Cinderella with a glass boot left at the 'control centre'?

The ordinary plod would turn back into a team of mice, or in the Disney version perhaps some of those cute striped American squirrels....

Response officers wouldn't have time to go to the ball, they're top busy dealing with all of society's dross.

all of society's dross.

And all those dodgy princes and girls from reality TV...

This is not a police bashing thread. Cinderella and the mice, squirrels etc. are the good guys in case everyone has forgotten.

The motoring link is the pumpkin. And speaking as the good fairy, I think my crystal ball tells me that this thread might soon slip sideways in a silly direction.
