Oh, yeah, and continuing my little whinge, when you are the victim of a crime and you have to call the Police, they'll usually take a couple of hours making their way to you rather then a few minutes.

I know of someone who was working in a shop and the window got smashed and there was a fight outside. He called the police and told them exactly what was going on. The fight continued for arounf 20 minutes. Still no Police. By the time the cops came, the ones beating up the teenager had long since disappeared. They came, I think, over an hour after the first phone call.

It should be said that the media here in the UK are pretty envious of the American police and justice system and often cry out how much we should adopt it. Only we can't because we've signed up to the EU and the friggin' Human Rights Act/Crap.
