Sitting in the Borough High Street branch of Pret a McManger this morning (as you do) I watched a single copper on a motorbike co-ordinate a three point junction heavy with traffic to let Princess Anne through in her smart blue Jaguar. He never got off his bike, which means he did the whole thing with one hand. It was wonderful to watch because he was completely confident and skilled. And then he zoomed off after the bouffy-haired Principessa, no doubt to perform his tricks on the other side of London Bridge.
I've seen outriders work their magic before and been impressed by it. This time I had a perfect view, and I enjoyed the performance. I hope that copper knows he's good. I hope the rookie coppers want to be him when they grow up. Dammit, I want to be him when I grow up.
