Mine was been asked if 'I wanted any business' by a prostitute whils I was on a 7 am run in Bolton. As I was wearing shorts and a t shirt, you have to ask where she thought I was carrying any cash!:eek:

This didn't happen to me but to a fellow club runner sometime ago....he was out on his normal long Sunday run wearing vest and shorts, so looking like a runner, when he heard the blues and twos behind him. He carried on and as it happened turned right into a field to go across a farm and come out back onto the road a few hundred metres later where Dixon of Dock Green stopped him to question him about his whereabouts earlier in the morning, why he was running and why he'd run away from them into the field! Not what you need after 12 miles with 4/5 to go!

I recently met with a large feline - three times the size of a domestic cat. It was early morning, good light and within my sight for almost 200 meters of running, so I was happy that it wasn't a fox or dog. Dark in colour it took off very quickly across a field when it spotted me.

I'm assuming "blues and twos" mean a police car. But what is "Dixon of Dock Green"? I didn't grow up in this country so sometimes the local language used goes right over my head.

rozzers, filth, peelers, old bill, bobbies, polis etc etc

all of the above and dixon of dock green refer to your local friendly policeman/woman

Karen,

"Dixon of Dock Green" is a TV programme from the '60s and '70s about Sergeant Dixon of, surprise surprise, Dock Green. Very quaint policing! The catch phrase "Evening all" came from the programme.

Probably the first TV programme to bring someone back from the dead(Sgt Dixon was shot dead in the trailor film, The Blue Lamp).

Cheers! Thanks for the answers.

You surely mean "Thanks for the answers. Evening all."

Forumites.......Mind how you go!

Just to explain to the uninitiated out there "Mind how you go" was also a saying of Sgt Dixon.
