Is it me but I'm sure they're not police constables but actually Police Community Support Officer's as actually labelled in the original article, ;)

There is a big difference between the two apart from the same uniform, PCSO's can't arrest anyone yet but need to wait for a PC or WPC to attend the scene as one example.

Good picture but i think it's good that a non-enthusiast is showing some sort of interest. Anyway whenever i've had a problem at a station it's never been to do with any form of police officer only ever a member of staff who doesn't know the rules and regs of their job.

If you ever see a police officer go up to him/her and say can you stop taking photos its against the station rules

Its not the police (copper is such a chav word) that cause problems its the jobsworth staff who make it up as they go along (there is no e in taking)

lol. Copper is not a chav word at all. Neither is Guvnor, etc.

I agree with you too,it is not a chavs word at-all.

But really it comes down to how you were brought up and how like you to pronounce things and what words you dont like to use to for things while others speak diffrently and call diffrent things diffrent stuff.

Anyway "Copper" is not a chavs word what chavs call police are "Feds" and dont worry how I know but I aint a chav!:D

I guess "the old bill" is probably more chav than anything else when refering to the Police.

Gangs and "hardnuts" from what I have seen like to call them Five-0 (because they are rock hard and cool:roll:) which I believe is also US import due to the TV series Hawaii Five-0

Actually, neither the Americans nor Chavs call Police feds.

Americans are quite likely to call them 'pigs' (which I detest) or 'cops'. Brits tend to call them 'the old bill', 'coppers', 'bobbies' 'blues n twos' and scots tend to just go 'errapolis' before promptly chucking the buckie bottle in the canal and swaggering off. (only my scottish friends here will understand that)

Feds are what the Americans call FBI, or they may use it to refer to non uniformed police i.e., the higher ranked fellas who drive big cars and mean business. Fed or feds is short for federal, as in, the federal bureau of investigation.

37401, explain this colloquial meaning of 'stoats'. Last I heard a stoat was a furry animal.

Dreadful!!!

The best bit is at 01:04 , "mate, I'm a District Line instructor, you are allowed to take pictures on stations" !

Also, someone familiar seemed to be enjoying himself at the rear window ;) :D
