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.

All these posts about them using 2 cars to pull over one driver make me laugh...Last year I was working for an IT company in London, moving computers from one office to another. I'd drawn the short straw so I was driving, going from Covent Garden to Victoria. I spotted a police van as I came past Trafalgar Square, but thought little of it until I pulled onto the Mall and their lights started flashing in the outside lane. I thought they wanted to get past so I slowed down. They slowed down. I twigged the wanted me to stop, so I indicated and pulled over to the side of the road. The first van pulls in front of us, a second van materialises behind us and about six officers jump out of each, all carrying mp5 machine guns, all pointed directly at my head.
"Holy fuck, have you got the wrong guy!" was the first thing I said. We were then held at the side of the road by St. James's Park at gunpoint (not just one gun either, about 12 of them) for about 45 minutes while they checked our details. They said driving a white van through London was "suspicious".
