The British Police... best in teh world

Here's a YouTube clip of our fine Boys in Blue responding to a call during the recent floods.

I'm also very impressed in how much regard they are held by the British public.

Gawd bless'em.


What a bunch of tossers. I bet the driver is still getting a hard time from his colleagues now.

My (76 yr old) mum has driven through minor flooding like that several times, and never got stuck - ok she cheats by checking how deep the water is and by going slowly enough not to force water into the air filter - rather than trying to scare the water out of the way with the "Blues and Twos" blazing and blaring
