We call 'em "Drunk-Bumps" here.

"dead bobbies" in Limeyland.

Strictly speaking it's "sleeping policemen"

There is only one location (Trago Mills) that I know of that refers to
them as
"dead policemen" and that establishment has been a haven of anarchy for

Liverpudian? housemate in Livingstone always called them dead bobbies.

co worker from Woking, called them Sleeping Policemen.


That used to be the standard terminology in the UK, before people got all PC.
That's why Trago's reference to Dead policemen was slight hyperbole. They were
