The PoliceSitting in my local pub late one night enjoying the landlord's flexible idea of what constitutes his licencing hours, a bunch of drunk blokes in raincoats burst in. Requesting to be served, one shouted at the barman "It's alright - we're not coppers!"
They were spitting images of Lt. Columbo to a man. The barman laughed them out of the pub.

The benefits of the WPCYears ago, having just passed my driving test, I was treating my brother to a demonstration of my new driving skills. I owned a maroon Vauxhall Chevette (The Chevy, or The Vette), which had a gold pin stripe down the side.
Having negotiated a roundabout with supreme aplomb,and in a legal manner, I noticed a Police Vehicle behind us. Said vehicle then proceeded to fire up the 'Blues and Two's' and pull us over. One Male PC, one rather cute, blonde WPC. I, as the driver was asked to 'step out of the vehicle' by the cute WPC. (I think she was new). She asked to see my license, asked the registration of the car etc, while the male PC asked my brother some questions at the back of the car. As the male PC then approached me, having finished grilling my brother, the WPC looked down and spotted the wheels on the Chevy. 'Those look like VERY expensive wheels! How can you afford wheels like that on a car like this?' Both me and my brother burst out laughing, which upset her a tad. But not as much as my comment 'They are £10 Halfords plastic wheel covers, sprayed gold'. Male PC went very bright red, bundled the cutie into the Police Car, and left us with the parting shot of 'Yeah, just make sure you don't do that, errrr, thing, again!'
Never did find out why we were pulled in the first place.
