    At least they don't blow the Defenders up.
    Years ago my father in law fell asleep watching tele and when he woke up there were skyscrapers burning and thought it was more Yankee BS,
    then he realised it was a dinkum news report.

    Cheers, Mick.

    Ah you can not include GET SMART in this

    That's detectiving, a long, slow process of elimination.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    Thats because in the UK all 4WD's are called "jeeps". Just like we used to all vacuums "Hoovers"

    I was over there and a bit stunned to here one of my cousins referring to her sons Discovery as a jeep.

    Why do all the Chief Inspectors, except Denton's finest, drive flash, classic cars? Why don't they have a company car? Fifth Columnist?

    Probably the requirement of the Home Office that TV promotes the Best of British or it loses its funding.
