Hard work being an officer: The new dictat tells officers not to make assumptions about the meaning of everyday phrases
With his greeting of 'Evenin' all', Dixon of Dock Green embodied the values of the solid, commonsense copper.
But his reassuring salutation, which began each episode of the classic police TV drama from 1955 to 1976, is one which today's real-life officers should be wary of using.
According to one force's official guidelines, it could confuse people from different cultural backgrounds.

Sad, Earl was a Gentleman, a scholar and a great laugh, there's not many left here!

Don't cry JO

I'm sure he'll be back when he's ready.

Then hopefully we'll be able to enjoy your teatime tete a tetes again.

I used to look forward to those.

Regards

Skoob.

PS You weren't at Barnsley the other night clearing out the cash registers and lobbing pies at the stewards were you?

Tsk Tsk.

The last time I visited Barnsley I remember it being slightly more inflammatory!

Thanks for your sympathies Skoob, they're welcome, how's the hangover?

And I only cry for Argentina when they kick our COHONES, I remember that line from a heroic western tail, pinned on a Gay donkey!

Gay donkeys eh JO?

What is the world coming to?

I dunno.

Back to winning ways again, and the Scousers bum it!

I always had a soft spot for Fulham!

mind you that other posh mob from the West are pretty hot, can't wait till next week!

....has anybody checked to see if Earl maybe got picked by Putin...I don't
think they have much of a sense of humour 'over there'...maybe his rep caught up with him....

I'm contacting the Human Rights commission at the UN....I think over the years I paid enough in taxes to warrant a 'small' investigation....maybe an inquiry at least.....hope he left a trail of tea leaves at least, so I can pick up his trail....
