Drunk drivers trying to sneak past police could be pulled over by an ice cream truck playing Greensleeves

says it all really, but here´s the link anyhow

I don't want to read the story and possibly spoil the image created by the thread title!

pmsl well at least they are inventive

yes I feel the same way (but did now read the story ) the title is a story in itself!

Arh, the inventiveness of my fellow countrymen / women! It really is a game of cat & mouse out there. Don't know if it's still law out there or not but, you used to be able to legally buy the technology (a little electronic receiver box) that beeped at you once you were near a cop car. Amazing now I think about it!

will they change the name of 99's to 999's???

THIS IS MY FAVE MNET THREAD TITLE EVER.

I have just sprayed water all over my work pc.

fantastic title.

Greensleeves? how does we feel about the idea of ice-cream vans stalking NZ criminals while pretending to be a prominent mumsnetter?

she was around earlier but is being either coy or nearsighted

at coy

has Greensleeves truely gone undercover??

Only in NZ ....

Psst ... it is actually because they can't afford to buy enough police cars as the government is so stingy crap with funding the police force ...

All those Brit Cops that are being recruited to come to NZ - how pissed off will they be when they find themselves chugging down the road in an ice cream van?? ROFL

Wife: How was your day darling? Did you catch any robbers/drunk drivers?
PC: No but I did sell 27 Jelly Tips

that did that in australia - queensland throughout summer - usually our worst time on the roads - lots of old bombs decked out like surfing bums with boards etc..... designed to catch speeding drivers etc.

at the jelly tips - my fav icecream!!

Or as the kiwis call the "Jilly Tups"

oi

its been too long, forgotten all about jelly tips - must siddle up to ice cream van while in NZ

now I am wanting a jelly tip - and we can only get them from the home icecream man not from shops anymore bugger have to wait till next week for the home icecream man.....

ok now my dirty mind has kicked in and I am thinking jelly tip / policeman jelly tip

wonder if the nice Mr. Policeman would let us play with his ummm Greensleeves siren !

snigger @ Paps - norty
