I was set upon by 2 CID officers one night
Both were just looking for information from an address in a horribly confusing council estate I used to live in and it was 2 in the morning. I was worse for wear after a good drinking session and was stumbling back to my house, deep in one of the corners of the estate. The woman and man walk upto me and she produces her ID.
"Can you tell me where to find this house?" she asks.
"Sorry, this place is like a maze around here, I hardly know the streets myself...."
The bloke jumps in and shouts at me with "YOU EITHER TELL US WHERE IT IS OR YOU'LL BE DONE WITH POLICE OBSTRUCTION!!!" As he says that I glance at her and she's giving him the look of "You utter utter twat."
I answer rather calmly "Look at the street map just behind you and follow the numbers, not exactly Snakes and Ladders is it?" He turns around and there's this roadmap of utter confusion beside him. "Now what number are you after?"
He sheepishly gives me the number and I find it on the map, other side of the estate. He gets back into the car and the female officer says "Thanks, and sorry about him" before hopping back into the car herself and driving off. I'd imagine she gave him a right rollocking when they got out of earshot; Swansea isn't exactly the land of the Sweeney.

Here's an upto date map of the area, when I lived there there were more roads and a shedload of flats in the middle of the estate. Was a postman's nightmare.
