While driving home I noticed a police car and said out loud “hello Mr police car”. Which made me think of magpies as people say hello to them as a way of keeping the bad luck away.*
Anyway that made me wonder if there was also a counting rhyme for police cars..
One for sadness,
Two for erm,
Three for a murder…
* It isn’t a good luck superstition, which is also intriguing.
So occasionally when I am home alone I have the TV on as company while I work on my laptop..
This quite often is shows like “Police Interceptors”, they are mostly ignorable, and don’t require me to actually pay any attention.
Now I am a law respecting member of the public, and these shows should reinforce that, basically it is people getting caught for their wrong doing, and at the end they tell you the resulting punishment..
Which is where things go a bit odd for me, they catch someone who has been doing double the speed limit, carrying drugs, get involved in a chase situation, and the voice over man tells you how they were fined 100 quid or something and got three points on their driving licence.
This inevitably just makes me think, is that it?
