I have to admit when my oldest daughter was 15 or so - her and her wannabe gangster buddies would refer to them as "the feds"! :rolleyes:

Re: "The Filth"
 

On TV, I think I heard it first on 'The Bill'. But having watched the sweeney recently, it is definitely of 70's vintage.

Re: "The Filth"
 

yes definitely a white wannabe term, never heard it used apart from dealing with drunken teens from decent backgrounds.

Butch, apart from your OH, who is obviously innocent:rolleyes:, IMO If you get caught in a speed trap in the city you deserve it!;)

There's certain fishing holes that the police always use. You rarely get caught by a patrol car.

It's not worth speeding in the city either. All you do is get to the next traffic light more quickly and have to wait longer.

Now on my bike outside the city........

hehehe!:rofl:

Re: "The Filth"
 

never heard of 'charlies'

sweeney = "I'VE NOT HAD MY BREAKFAST" classic, never managed to fit it in though.

Radar traps, or quite possibly multinova radar ticket in the mail stuff.

Re: "The Filth"
 

Yeah I came out with it the other day to my own surprise, "Lot of filth around today" I think it came from the Sweeney :lol:

Re: "The Filth"
 

did you hear the news recently in Edmonton that due to obvious financial restraints at the moment the police are potentially facing a severe budget shortfall. to combat this some brightspark has proposed more budget for more laser traps and give the increased revenue to the cops.

i know north americans don't get irony, but come on, giving the cops more money to catch people so they can have more money to catch people. COME ON!!!

Re: "The Filth"
 

Being a copper in the 70's must have been awesome if it was anything like the sweeney.

Edit: ffs - that's the second ism i've used on this thread - must get a grip!

Re: "The Filth"
 

LOL, even when she gets caught, its MY fault somehow. (Even when I'm not in the car :confused:).

Re: "The Filth"
 

for those from south London back in the 70's it was the "Sweeny".

Sweeny Todd - Flying Squad

Made famous by http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sweeney

You kill me man! if there was a trophy for shit stirring you'd get my vote hun;):lol:

Re: "The Filth"
 

Well get cleaning you lazy mare:lol:

Re: "The Filth"
 

I wasn't stirring - honest. It's intellectual curiosity ... well curiosity anyways.

(Now I'm trying to find torrents to the sweeney films, have all the tv episodes already).
