Lethal Sheep
Our gallant Highland police force, referred to locally as PC Plod, wear bulletproof vests at all times. Not just those in Inverness, but the village based ones. They wear them day and nite.
Police in Glasgow can be seen patrolling without them, as in other Scottish cities. Police in Belfast wear them at their discretion, and tend to leave them off whenever possible, because of the bad image they create.
Not the image I would choose to present to visitors, but those Highland sheep that are specially trained to jump out into the road right in front of cars COULD conceal guns and knives under their wooly coats.
