The Short Leg of the Law

[Sorted]

Listening to Radio Scotland this morning with Asmah Mir (how sexy is she?!!!) and the topic of the country's smallest policeman was being discussed. Since the minimum height requirement was abolished we apparently, not being a nation of giants, have a number of very short officers. Discussion centred on our shortest (no height given) and ended by telling us that he is known by his colleagues as laptop as he is a small PC! :004:

Used to work with a guy who always wore heavy glassed spectacles, they were like the bottom of wine bottles. I heard his mates call him Everest.....................sorry Billy.

Back in the days when police forces operated minimum height rules, the Met once reduced theirs to something like 5 feet 7. Recruits who came in under the new rule were thereafter known as "Metrognomes"!

At one time Sutherland County Constabulary had the most demanding requirement. Recruits had to be at least 5 feet 10 inches.... or as Mae West once said "Never mind about the five feet... let's talk about the ten inches."

I'm surprised at you coming out with something like that Charles - you being a staunch Wee Free.

Due to the lack of permissible entertainment, they are by far the worst :cdn-flag: !
