What really takes the biscuit is a colleague of mine who's car was
vandalised was told by the police that they don't chase after vandals
any more, because all that happens is they just run away! Can I have
my tax back please?

In Essex they don't allow anything to interfere with their prime objective
of being a complete waste of space.

I understand the various forces have a league table for it (along with
motorway snooker)
