Oh dear, Irene - you really are a naive individual - you mean someone would be at your front (and rear) door 24/7/365 to check up on you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd have the police stopping people to check that they had them, just like they did with the abhorrent face muzzles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very strange - I don't think I've seen a foot patrol outside of rail stations for months - and that includes when I have been in the city centre(s).

It's the British Transport Police that patrol train stations, not mainstream police. They can be seen at stations such as Sheffield & Doncaster regularly and have an office on Platform 1 at Sheffield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
