Wonderful! In the USA police are often called "troopers". They are (or were) also called "the Fuzz", "pigs", "cops", "coppers", and many other such names, I'm sure.

Spotted Dick sounds like a rather intimidating food to me, Don. It must take nerve to be the first to carve out a spoonful of that.

Cabbage is good stuff, but I have the impression that few people around here ever eat it for some reason. Pity!
