    Surely there's an untapped market selling English grammar e-books to Nigerian scammers.
    There certainly is.

    Just send them a copy of your international (???) passport or driving licence, your address, telephone and fax numbers and your bank details and I'm sure you'll get an email telling you the payment has been sent :D

    Metropolitian

    OK, it's not actually a word but certainly deserves to be!
    Can I help?

    The Metropolitian Police can be contacted twenty-four hours a day, every day. Here's how:

    105 Reid Promenade, Joondalup,
    6027
    United Kingdom

    Lmao top marks for trying though. That address is an actual police station in the suburbs north of Perth Western Australia. Not really classed as teh UK any more tho :p

    You've gotta hand it to them, they sure do think we have alot of faith in the Police :rotfl:

    They might grow up in a culture where coppers are as bent as they come and you buy yourself out of jail. Here we get out of jaildue to the wrong box being ticked on the paperwork.
