The coffee is also no parking for the police

London. A police van parked with flashing lights lit in blue stripes reserved for the bus stop. The fact attracts the attention of passers-by who think in an emergency, a call to 999 (our 113). But no car chases or excitement. Only one of the two agents descend slowly from the car and goes at a slow pace towards a Costa coffee, and then return without rushing toward the van carrying two coffees in hand.

It happened in Temple Fortune Road, Barnet, a suburb of London. It is the sequel to make this amazing story: when they realize that it was not an emergency but a coffee break curious passers-by become offended and outraged. So Mr. Defanoir goes to the police, denouncing the serious abuse of power.

The chief said Neil Searbridge always all'Evening Standard: "We encourage our agents to have sex and to use at local stores, but they must do it right.

This type of behavior is unacceptable. " So the two were cautioned and placed under "close surveillance". Accustomed to other kinds of abuse - a blue car that dart caring about any ban, stopping on the sidewalk, cutting the road, park anywhere, where lanes running around unpunished every means of unauthorized - in such stories is to smile but it remains banned.

Why, we wonder if they (the British) of the order and dull neurotics obsessed by rules, unable to take life a bit 'over weight. Or we (Italians) had already lowered the level of tolerance to the point that nothing is more able to make us ashamed of, let alone a story so futile.
