albertjohn Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Nodehopper. I've got to know. Why in God's name are you accessing The Daily Mail online? No respectable Gibson fan in Britain would ever admit to it. Mainly read by women and fools (and I am not suggesting an association) and you are clearly neither. There are plenty of policemen who patrol the City on bicycles these days, so why not. Personally, I don't care what mode of transport the Police use, as long as they are out there doing a fantastic job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onewilyfool Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 An English Bobby walks up to a car with steamed windows one night and taps lightly on the Driver side window. When the window comes down, the Bobby notices the driver has THREE HEADS!!!! When seeing this the Bobby says, "Well, Hello, hello, hello....." (say hello WITHOUT pronouncing the 'h', in your best British accent) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonCarlos Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Great. I retired last year and now police are getting all the high tech gear. I would have put my shift on the tricycles for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

albertjohn Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 I wonder what DCI Gene Hunt would make of it. I hope you chaps over the water get these series. If you do, make sure you tune in. Good old fashioned English policing from the 70s and 80s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thermionik Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 It was the early seventies, BOC were in town and the band and crew crashed a party someplace in the smoke. Since I had been around (fiddling with the lasers - oh man - biggest lasers I'd seen at the time.....) I went along for the ride, like you do. Ligging it was called, and a number of us had raised it to an art-form. And in the UK a gentleman ALWAYS takes his boots off for a lady, erm, beyond a certain point, shall we say. And later we went for a swim and some smoke, and when I went to get dressed, some low-life party-goer had walked off with my boots. Boy was I mad - they were a gift from a good friend, expensive, snappy looking and real comfortable. I had to borrow a pair of baseball-boots to get home in. If I could go back in time - I'd do it all again..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gearbasher Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 I had to borrow a pair of baseball-boots to get home in. I had to google "baseball-boots UK". To save the rest of my fellow colonists the trouble, Converse All-star hi-tops came up . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWilson Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 It's apparent they don't play baseball in the UK. Converse All-Stars are Basketball shoes. Baseball shoes have cleats, or spikes. Here in the colonies we wear boots to go fishing and shoes to play sports. And Bob's your uncle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fortyearspickn Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 I feel your pain. I have a pair of snakeskin (Python, as in Monty) I got in Mexico 4 or 5 years ago. If someone stole THEM, I'd have to skin him to make a new pair. By the way - the Police 'cruiser'. I was NOT suprised to see it comes from California. I expect pretty soon, once they get the police use to not having a place for their box of Krispy Kremes - they'll be selling us all motorized roller skates. Sorry - subliminally, I'd have more respect of a police officer in a car than on a tricycle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
