Police Use London Bus For Disguise
London has been having trouble with Eastern European con artists, so they used the obvious solution of how do you get lots of boys in blue to the area, without the con-artists knowing. You use a big red London bus and cram it full of police. The story is here in the Evening Standard. More than 25 were detained and a dozen or so were charged.
Surely though, the choice of a Number 2 bus was wrong. Perhaps it should have been a 49 or 99, or perhaps one that went past a convenient prison like Wandsworth, Pentonville or Wormwood Scrubs. That would give a whole new meaning to the phrase “Go Directly To Jail”
The Anonymous Widower 
“On the Buses” show is still on OZ TV . . . good to see a new series in the making . . .

It’s not here and I wouldn’t watch it anyway, as ITV has adverts. I don’t watch channels with adverts, unless it’s live sport.

On some busy streets in London, there might be a bus every two or three minutes, so it works well.
