They saw an auditor filming outside their police station.

Those whose tellys are hung on the wall in portrait mode. There’s no other reason.

…Other than being an absolute retard who hasn’t spotted that a phone on its side is the same layout as the gogglebox in the corner.

Properly gets on me tits, it does.

They could have asked me - I've got it, and I'd have done it for a couple of outriders and a beer (not that I can taste anything).

It's the escort bikes for the Women's Tour cycle race. I reckon almost every bike cop from SE and Central England is on it...

Rolling roadblocks suck up huge amounts of motorcycle riders. The Tour of Britain went past my house once and I couldn't believe how many were involved.

Same goes for escorting football fans on coaches in bubble games.

Yes, we saw the race on Monday, there were probably 20+ NEG (non-police) escort bikes as well.

I was in the Lakes when that Tour was blatting through, unbelievable amount of plod on bikes, some from Heddlu as well. Amused that the article assumed that they were all escorting the unmarked police car...

Cycle race makes sense. I had a feeling it wasn't anything important because the number of four-wheeled vehicles involved was so small.

I've been in a car that has been escorted by 8 Police bikes, it is impressive stuff how they work together blocking off side roads, roundabouts, junctions etc making sure your route is completely clear and unhindered.
