15、yourpolicemen are wonderful.”Well,the British bobby may not always be wonderful but he is usually a very friendly andhelpful sort of character.A music-hall song of some years ago was called“If You Want To KnowThe Time,Ask A Policeman”.Nowadays,most people own watches but they still seem to findplent
16、y of other questions to ask the policemen.In London,the policemen spend so much of theirtime directing visitors about the city that one wonders how they ever find time to do anything else.Two things arenoticeable to the stranger,when he sees an English policeman for the firsttime.The first is that h
