  1. @scuff has come out as a traffic cop. I wonder if he ever played ticket snooker? This would explain why in the olden days in the UK, when you got tickets from real officers rather than robots or civil servants hiding inside a camera van, that you were more likely to be done in a red vehicle rather than any other colour. 
    Snooker, is a game similar to pool for those not in the know. The object is to pot balls using a cue and white ball but the scoring system is very different to pool as you accumulate points. You alternate potting red balls (1 point) with balls of another colour (points depend on the colour, black 7, blue 5 for example). So red followed by black, red & blue would score 1+7+1+5=14. I imagine there would be some arrangement where the traffic unit with the lowest score at the end of the shift had to get the doughnuts in, or maybe a weekly tally and get the beers in before a rest day.
    Didn't the haircut give it away Wessie?
