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.

Euro-CopsBit of a vague QOTW, so make of this what you will:
As I've watched a bit of football overseas, inevitably I have bumped into Euro-Plod on most occasions. Two of the fruitiest continental OB are...
Italy - Will quite happily allow home supporters (in this case Inter Milan fans) to urinate / vomit / throw coins on visiting supporters. Even better than that, they'll gladly batter you over the head with their truncheons if you have the audacity to complain to them about it.
Norway - While strolling back to our hotel, down a pedestrianised shopping street in Oslo, singing various ditties in the early hours, the Norwegian Police used a 'hint' tactic to make you go home quietly. They do this by driving at walking pace about two feet behind you with their fog lights on in what can only be described as a Norwegian monster truck. Another interesting fact about them; they all have grey moustaches.
