Yes, the Cumbrian police are pretty hot! They've nicked me 2 or 3 times over the years.

Hmm…I don't mind the police (generally…) - you can normally have a reasonable conversation with them. It's the Cumbria Safety Camera Partnership that irritate me, sitting on the M6 bridges around the Lakes in their little yellow vans….

..though their website is currently a bit amusing/ironic (depending on your POV) : http://www.cumbriasafetycameras.org
