Are the "DOG UNIT" walts a crossover with the XL Bully-type owners?
Perhaps it's a way of avoiding the general assumption that they are council types who just need to have a big scary dog



Instead we make the general assumption that they are walty fantasists biggrin

How is it an assumption when they've plastered it all over their car which can be mostly seen parked at Tesco.

I recently did a community event, a "sheriff" turned up, in a marked vehicle, he was in uniform. He raised a few eyebrows from the police contingent when he came onto the show ground on blues and twos, they're not supposed to be active on a public road. He has to activate them once he's on the show ground via an isolator switch under the bonnet.
I'm fairly sure those hills in the background are the ones south of Dumfries, so the location is somewhere near Whitehaven/Workington.

The private ‘Event Medic’, in badged up sweatshirt complete with what appeared to be a call sign (he had no radio, or a need for one) at my son’s karate competition in a school hall yesterday, spent the whole time sat there with a stethoscope draped around his neck like he was an A&E doctor.

Considering the worst injury seen was some minor bruising that required no treatment, I wonder what he thought he needed it so close to hand for?

Hang on… did he really fit a sticker so that he could read to himself in his rear view, telling him what he already knows?



Sorry to return to this classic but if the driver /Walt actually looked in his rear view mirror the Dogs In Transit sign would be reversed for him(her?) too. In fact the only person who could read it the correct way round would be someone inside the car who turned around to look out of the rear window. Or a literate dog.

Back peddling? Is that selling something and then buying it back?


Back pedalling.

Why would the police be bothered about an American police car and a guy (presumably) in American police uniform?

The fact nothing was said would lead me to believe they did not really give st?

Because of the illegal use of blue lights/sirens. The real police officer gave the pretend sheriff friendly words of advice, saying traffic police wouldn't be so forgiving.
