POLICE follow this van ???

The message means what you want it to mean. The police do follow it for the reasons already given.
It could also pass a message to the would be robber that police do routinely follow it, perhaps making them think twice. It also says to the police who would wish to stop it that they will go to a safe destination to stop.

Thanks for the explanation, but if your read my post again you might see I already suggested both those possibilities.

Non of those explanations make sense though.

These vans are clear in their purpose, they don't need a crappy sign for police to identify them.

I thought that they might change colour or something when an alarm was activated, but that doesn't seem likely either.

Been baffled by this for ages (ever since finding out what TIR meant or lorries:rotfl:)

It's not a long thread, but for some reason I missed the rest of your post! :doh:

Too keen to get out for my 10k constitutional...

i seen a fruit drop van today (company delivers fruit to your desk) and it said "There are no bananas left overnight in this van" which made me chuckle.

No you didn't, you saw it in today's Daily Mail! :rotfl:

I bought a packet of dry roasted peanuts the other day. I noticed on the packet it said "WARNING; May contain nuts".

Peanuts are not actually nuts, they are legumes which are a type of bean.

People with a life threatening nut allergy can usually eat peanuts quite safely, unless some muppet contaminates them with protein from actual nuts.

Therefore this warning is entirely valid.

Or possibly on Flickr two years ago..

I wonder if the Daily Fail gave proper credit/payment for the photo?

Photo in the Daily Mail was a different angle.

I'm no fan, I was just flicking through it at a relatives house.

You sure about the bit in bold?

From a kids allergy page,

Peanuts are actually not a true nut, but a legume (in the same family as peas and lentils). But the proteins in peanuts are similar in structure to those in tree nuts. For this reason, people who are allergic to peanuts also can be allergic to tree nuts, such as almonds, Brazil nuts, walnuts, hazelnuts, macadamias, pistachios, pecans, and cashews.
