A young very new policeman was keen to get onto squad cars and use his ‘blues and twos’ to great effect. But he had to go through several stages of training before he got the go ahead for that.
Then the great day arrived and he had the keys to a beautiful jam sandwich, he raced to the car and put it through all the tests that he had been taught, lights, siren etc.
Then he put it into gear and floored the pedal…and crammed it straight into the telegraph pole behind him.
Of course he had to undergo all the training again but was confused as to his new nickname ‘Dracula’.
He asked a mate who then explained.
'Only Dracula can look in a mirror, and see nothing. ’

2 rough sleepers are preparing for the night on the pavement. One is lying in a cardboard box which is complete with an open end with flap lifted up as he rests on his elbow watching with curious amusement his companion. This man is struggling to get his box into shape and obviously without much success judging by the mess he is making of it and his frustrated expression.
