I spent a week at Hendon Police driving college as part of my Royal protection driving course. That skid pan had evolved by the 70's and was huge fun. I remember that I got to drive an Aston Martin Lagonda around their training track...awesome days, great memories.😊

Now the policeman's job to make sure you don't call anyone a name they don't like. Just like nursery school.

[@countfosco8535]

how do you know

[@swedishdissident3406]

The thing that desterbs me is that the nursery schools call the the police when the children have been naughty. As though the police had nothing better to do.

[@alonzocalvillo6702]
