Default Feds Cops Fuzz Old Bill ?

So what do you like to be known as / refered to?, what do you the scoobynetters like to call us (Keep it clean please)

I see in another thread someone is getting their Knickers in a twist, about Police Officers being refered to as Feds. So what are your views?

As you know many officers read and contribute to scoobynet every day, so what are the views of the learned gentlefolk of the blue cloth and white shirts.

Or does it not matter, does anyone even care. Doesn't bother me.

Obviously this depends on the Situation;

1. Caught Speeding - Pig
2. Reporting a crime against myself - Officer
3. Reporting a crime against myself whilst pissed - offisher/Pig (depending on state of pissedness)
4. On ScoobyNet - Mate
5. Whilst Paying Council Tax - Overhead
6. Whilst reading the Dail Mail - Over worked undervalued member of Society

Or what do those who pay their wages think they should they be called nowadays?

Glorified civil servants with big ***** on?

Public servants with a twist?

Defenders of whatever HMG wants them to defend at this moment in time?

Traffic wardens with less colour?

The Tin Pot Sherrifs of the UK?

Good eggs and all round nice blokes with a hard job to do cos no one loves us until they need us and it's not our fault that everyone thinks were useless as we are just following orders and the paperwork gets us every time, mein herr?

I hate the term "Feds", simply as it's one of those anoying yank terms adopted by the UK.

What do I refer to the police as? depends on my mood and whether I'm conversing with an officer of the law. "Sir" usually does it in that case, otherwise it'd be;

Police
Plod
Coppers
Old Bill
Filth
Jobsworth lol

If it's in good spirit Old Bill, Plod, Copper...

If it's not then The Police, Officer...

Police is a derogatory term nowadays anyway

Maybe there's a New Labour definition of 'final' that I'm unaware of
