It's OK if you're a copper or a fireman though, innit.

I've had the pleasure of meeting many a fireman, policeman, and soldier with criminal records, including some who've mis-behaved while serving and carried on in thier duties, so I'm afraid in the real world your luvvly jubbly little smug answer doesn't wash one iota.

Bugger Me !
Deputy assistant commissioner Stephen Roberts, Scotland Yard's senior officer in
charge of professional standards, has written to senior officers to complain
about "unduly lenient sentences" handed down to police officers convicted of
driving while drunk. He encloses guidance from the home office to the effect
that officers convicted of this offence should expect to lose their jobs. He
also attches the record of at least 17 cases of such convictions, noting that
four of the 17 continue to be employed by the Metropolitan police.
"We are in
danger," he writes, " of reducing the 'risks' to officers who commit these
offences, consequently condoning their behaviour.... I seek your assistance in
arresting this drift towards 'acceptability' of drink/driving within this
service and have asked the Misconduct Office to bring to the attention of the
deputy commissioner all cases where the expectations of both the home office and
the Metropolitan police service do not appear to be met.

It seems your off duty police friend was right after all, what a relief, though
one wonders about the other 20 odd forces in Britain, not to mention what would
happen if they were actually caught pretending to be hooligan's in the persuance
of their duties, innit.

Possibly very true, nbut at least it only costs a few bob to get into serious quality stuff, you don't have to queue for weeks, or be dressed like a penguine to get in.

Dell Boy,
Just as an afterthought many years afore I do recall a trip to enjoy the delights of Covent Garden, and I don't mean the apples & pears. Gizelle if I'm not mistooken (which I often am) that bit was great stuff, but the dicky bow, the well expensive crab and cumber sarnies, the fact my Mum and I couldn't get a bloody train home to the suburbs, because it was too late for our beloved ASLEF boys (just after midnight)eric,(probably fighting at an all night barbie ?) yeah, I'll stick with a cheap entrance ticket, and make my own culteral decisions rather than relying on some tosser of a critic (I mean that generally) to think for me, innit.

I certainly don't wish to register with Murdochs stuff, but I'm glad his reporter's interpretation of events for the British market gave you all a little giggle, the average german tv advert could be considered lewd to most Brits taste.
