I wondered about those too. One object looks like a flue elbow for a
boiler (furnace).

Decorations? Or, maybe they help disperse the piano sound?

Enjoyed the piano playing!

Seems pianos sit all around in London. Many are decorated, apparently?

I'd expect that in nice places like Holland, but I didn't realise England did it. I take it there are less vandals than the likes of Manchester? It'd get nicked or taken apart, or the casters stolen and it left on bricks.

Impersonating an officer is a bad law? Sure, whatever you say. Frankly,
that's one of the smart ones. Otherwise, many would play cop more often
and lure a victim.

Playing the piano is not impersonating. If he tried to arrest someone, THAT'S impersonating. Are you telling me you don't have stripograms dressed as cops over there?

I'm making the assumption he was wearing the exact same uniform as your
police with the word "police" on the back. That can not fly here
regardless of playing piano or simply walking down the street. People
can wear similar police like uniforms as costumes and your favorite
stripograms. An official looking uniform emulating any city or state
police uniform is not allowed.

Don't talk silly, if it was legal to impersonate a copper there'd be

You mean your laws are even worse than ours?


Impersonating an officer is a bad law? Sure, whatever you say.
Frankly,
that's one of the smart ones. Otherwise, many would play cop more
often
and lure a victim.

Playing the piano is not impersonating. If he tried to arrest
someone,
THAT'S impersonating. Are you telling me you don't have stripograms
dressed as cops over there?


I'm making the assumption he was wearing the exact same uniform as your
police with the word "police" on the back. That can not fly here
regardless of playing piano or simply walking down the street. People
can wear similar police like uniforms as costumes and your favorite
stripograms. An official looking uniform emulating any city or state
police uniform is not allowed.

Why not? If he doesn't actually try to arrest anyone, no harm done.


(rolls eyes) You're just not very bright, are you. Don't answer, we
already know.

So you can't say what harm is done then?

It's bloody obvious.

Looking like one and pretending to be one are not the same thing. If I
dress up as one then someone asks me for something and I say "Sorry I'm
just in fancy dress" - no harm done. But if I pretend to stop motorists
or arrest people, that's wrong.

THAT is exactly what would happen...jeez!

I commend you for your efforts to prove a point to a clueless person. If
he can't grasp the obvious, that point has a limit.

Upside down envelopes don't stress me, they irritate me that someone could have made such a stupid mistake.
