Anyone else remember seeing these guys (weirdo's)?



I remember being on a carriage in the late 80's - early 90's and two of them got on and it was
one of those times where you think to yourself 'Oh god, don't laugh'

Am i in the minority finding them amusing or did they actually achieve anything?

Yes, I remember them. I saw them on trains a couple of occasions. Had they not been on board, I certainly would have kicked off. yes

IIRC weren't they a new york thing that sort of worked because they had not enough police?

They righted wrongs and ensured that peace and harmony reigned over old London Town. Oh, and they wandered around in red berets and stuff.

Imagine if the A-team only used public transport.


You've heard of the-A team right?
