They also used to carry around a drum as the first police force came from a military background. It was completely counter productive to catching criminals though.
Hence the term bobbies on the beat.

Additionally, as a baby, England's world cup winning captain was named in protest at cuts to policing.

The vegetable peeler was so named in honour of Polis-founding PM Sir Robert Peel - previously it had been known as a vegetable Skinner, in honour of the mid 90s American wrestling star of the same name, who was a popular music hall act of the time.

Throughout the 70's, Bobby Moore quietly donated a vast amount of his discarded pubic hair to Oxfam each year. Mrs Moore would fashion it into mittens and bobble hats, taking advantage of its peculiarly high insulating and water resistant properties.

In a chilling parallel with HRH Prince Andrew, Peter Shilton will reveal in tomorrow's Sun how -

- The experience of having Argentinians shoot at him during Mexico '86 also left him unable to sweat for many years.


- He entered into a downward spiral of unlikely pizza binges in provincial English towns, which has left him largely unable to recall the last two decades.

- How, if he ever goes out in London, he feels powerlessly compelled to wear his padded goalkeeper top, gloves, and budgie smugglers.

- His anguish at always being turned away at Tramps nightclub due to his choice of attire.

People in Argentina think that Prince Andrew is an imposter because the real one was killed during Britain’s defeat in the Falklands conflict

They are of course wrong as, regardless of the name you prefer, there is no such place as the Falkland Islands

The Islands were named after darts player Jocky Wilson's wife in honour of him winning his first Darts World Championship.

Prince Andrew once through a tantrum that lasted 17 days because he wasn't allowed to play the character of Adrian Mole in the television adaptation.

Which was a shame as he'd been looking forward to opening Pandora's box.
