    Why are police motorcyclists whistling these days?

    Have recently noticed that police motorcyclists now have a new toy to play with. Instead of using a siren, they can now make a whistling noise similar to the kind a group of whistle blowing climate protestors or similar might make. Is this a London thing or are CUKers hearing it up and down the land? and why the f**k would they want to do that?

    It's the cutbacks. Instead of sirens, police motorcyclists are being reissued with the little silver police whistles that were last seen around 1950. Soon police motorcycles will be withdrawn entirely and replaced with BMXs with a twig stuck in the spokes so they make a sort of motorbikey noise.

      Nope that's a new one on me. So do the armed response units now have to shout 'Bang' as they club Brazilian electricians to death?

        They're 'outriders' - police escorts for VIPs and the like. Probably Liz or one of her mob popping down Spar.
