DumboBud Posted February 15, 2018 Report Share Posted February 15, 2018 (edited) Anyone any idea what has happened at Mill St. I passed at about half 3 and the police station is all taped off with a cop standing on guard outside.

My hope was that GLS had abducted JR and had him locked away in a cell to keep him from escaping over the border. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TPAFKATS Posted February 15, 2018 Report Share Posted February 15, 2018 The maintenance story is doesn’t hold true to me. Police tape everywhere and a cop standing to attention to let a couple of joiners work? Could be emergency maintenance due to asbestos exposure. That would explain the tape and plod standing guard. I prefer the conspiracy though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pod Posted February 15, 2018 Report Share Posted February 15, 2018 2 hours ago, MWISAINT71 said: Does anyone know why the are called Busy's? Bizzies UK, said to have been coined in Merseyside, as the police were always too "busy" to help citizens who reported low-level crimes such as house burglaries. An alternative origin is that the police are seen as "busybodies", i.e. they ask too many questions and meddle in the affairs of others.

Origin Early 18th century (as a verb): perhaps from obsolete cap ‘arrest’, from Old French caper ‘seize’, from Latin capere. The noun is from copper.
