Well, Ratto, it's a good job you weren't up to your tricks 20 odd years before when I was posted to the Fallowfield beat.
You could easily have been the student I arrested one night for breaking a shop window.
With his belly up against the charge office counter, he suddenly became all educated and refused to talk English, abusing the Desk officer and myself in French, in an arrogant and condescending manner.
A quick application of the 'linguistic headphones' around his ears soon got him back to English !
I don't suppose you're allowed to do that now !
