British policing at its very best
 

Taken during the recent 'flooding' here in the UK, this is an example of our highest calibre of officers currently serving in our police force; brave caring and able to use tact and initiative when called for.

"S'only a bit o' water, innit?"

:rotfl:

utterly priceless.

LMAO! that's so funny.

You'd think some coppers driving around Derbyshire (which is practically the home of most Land Rovers in the UK, including mine a lot of the time) would know about driving through water, especially since there are a number of deep water fords in Derbyshire. If they'd have gone through at a steady speed they'd have probably made it just fine. Besides which, most people around those parts could have told them to just shove a bit of cardboard down the front of the engine bay while they drove through water and then take it out - that usually works.

As it is, they were probably just rushing to get to the chippy in time, before it shut!

:D Chock

Just imagine what they probably would have done with a police helicopter...

:rotfl: :rotfl:
Now that I must admit was very funny :rock: :up:
But being in the same job as one of those who were doing the pushing....there is a part of me which is just praying that they weren't responding to someone in a life threatening situation :yep:

And at the same time reminds just why norhterners bug me. smug bstards.

If they had gone through it right you can get a van like that through that water easily notice though he slowed down before he cut out, they should have used a range rover.

Very funny Jumpy:up:

I'm sooooo glad our police aren't armed:hmm:

Do you think the reaction would be different anywhere else in the UK ?!

No but there is something annoying about the accent and the way they were talking. And I'm from the north myself.

:up: Proper funny:up:

Mind you....it depends on what you consider to be 'the North'. Where I reside...Yorkshire area is considered part of 'the South' by some. :yep:

Whereabouts in Yorkshire are you ?

:rotfl:

ah comon !

that was funny.
weird sight.. police pushin a van :lol:

The land of the Toon Army ;)

I bet they would not be laughing if the police were comming to thier rescue.

Ya can't help but laugh ...

I 'd have to wade in and help push all the time ribbing the cops about how smart they really are.

:rotfl:
