Loads closed around here. We haven't had a copper in the village since
the 1980s nearest police station was six miles away now that has closed.
All the coppers in the nearest market town were removed from duty and
within a few weeks the place saw a murder in the street and a series of
bank/shop robberies.

Some time ago my car got damaged while parked and of course I had to
report it for the 'crime number' or whatever. I drove more than 6 miles
round London before finding a station I could do this at. Of course with
an intimate knowledge of police stations I could have gone straight to the
one which was open and isn't six miles away. But I made the mistake of
trying to use ones I'd been to before.
