Have you noticed? Each of those automatic weapons is pointed at the feet of the next man along.

If they are all going to shoot each other in the foot, then perhaps the armoured boots worn by the cavalryman make some sense.

Perfectly safe ... Shooting in the Foot is done at MoD, just across the road and down a few hundred yards

"C'est magnifique, mais ce n'est pas la gare !"

...or as the copper said "C'est magnifique, mais ce n'est pas la glare !".

"Any idea how long this alert goes on for, mate?"

"No idea. It's been a couple of days now. I'll give Nutty a call."

"These shades have built-in Ipod speakers, his boots conceal a pair of Bose cubes and his sword is actually a DAB aerial. It wouldn't be good getting caught listening to music."

Surely in your case Buster you mean Pater......

Ok, without a fanfare and all of that, the winners of the coverted Coffman Starter trophy for a brief period of time are ...............

1st place is C52 with the classic

"The chap in fancy dress is 'ere to guard 'Er Majesty. I'm guarding 'im. You're guarding me, and that noise you just 'eard above was the Royal Air Force guarding you."

2nd place again falls to C52 with

"That's right, boys. I am as old as you two together, as heavy as you two together, and I can run faster than either of you carrying the other."

and finally a worthy 3rd place and equally tied, Big pistons, Javboy and MP11 with

From the Police Officer

Oh thank god you made it, I look like this because I am desperate for a huge ***** !
_________

If your looking for a bit of action boys get yourselves up to Clapham Common at twilight.

and

"I'd keep an eye on that bloke behind you, Constable ... those ISIS scum like using swords."


And with that I hand the reins over to C52..

however I would just like to add I am mightly impressed with the apparent wealth of knowledge on here as to the seedier locations in London to visit

I have to say that c52 looked to be the winner from the moment he posted that! Well done, Sir

(PS: I used Google to find the bus route)

I am delighted, of course. Thank you very much.

I have a frantic evening before travelling all day tomorrow. I doubt I'll be able to put up the next picture before tomorrow evening.
