Maybe it was a bridge that you're only supposed to use on a Saturday or Sunday, but the signwriter couldn't spell. |

Jim, the sign was directly at the entrance of the bridge so by the time u told yourself what a divvy sign it was you were half way over it lol.
I really have no idea where i was in London, I was just following TomTom (maybe that needs a good seeing to).
AndrewT, you never fail to amuse me!!

I remember when I worked in the police trying to get a driver to move his car as it was near to a potentially unexploed bomb outside the army careers office at the side of the old Grosvenor at Luton. He was refusing to move away as he was waiting for his wife who was in Sainsburys.
Unfortunately I misunderstood where the suspect vehicle was - the radio message from my sergeant went as follows:
"Would the officer standing by the blue Vauxhall cavalier please raise your hand so we know you can hear us" I duly raised my hand and waved at the sergeant
My collegues then waved back at me and the radio message I received was "We are waving goodbye as you are standing by the bomb"
It was a good race with me and the guy in the vauxhall!
I think things were a little more relaxed in those days......how I miss the days when you would go on duty and have a laugh when a man peed on your hat from a great height - these days he would probably get tazered.

Did you get to keep some handcuffs and a truncheon as souvenirs of your time in the force?  |

Keep is an interesting word........forgot to give back is a better phrase I think - 1 set of handcuffs and key, two truncheons - man and womens - bigger and smaller to the uninitiated. I keep these in the bedroom so that should I get a burglar I can hit them on the head - suffice to say when I moved house the sight of a truncheon and some vaseline (I had a really bad cold and it helped stop my nose go red) in one of my bedside drawers had the moving men in hysterics all day. When they eventually told me I was mortified.  |
