Our village policeman won’t patrol at night, he’s scared of the dark so I deputise.
I’ve got the whole caboodle. A mobile phone, a torch which is also my truncheon, and a water pistol – hardly a Glock 45, but who’d know? Also, Flighty Flora lends me her furry pink handcuffs. Once on they’re near impossible to remove, as I recently discovered!
I’ve just heard Nellie’s knickers have disappeared from her washing line. Fear not, I’m on the case!

An impressive array of crime-fighting tools! Great illustration, too.

You send this Yank to Googlesville to learn that our billy clubs, nightsticks, and batons are British truncheons. My father used torch (and shillelagh), so I got the flashlight word. Nothing like giving a bit of a tap with Scot’s rung or an Aussie’s waddy, now is there?
Another fine and funny story, Keith. You know so many interesting people. 🙂

I originally used baton, but then changed to a very British truncheon wondering if it would receive a reaction! Seems amazing how many terms there are for something you bop people on the bonce with!
If all the folks I write about were real I’d probably end up in the loony bin! Cheers Bill.

I understand every bit of that. But panty raids were (are?) very real things. 🙂

Somehow i think any crooks would simply flee when they see you coming.
