Well, the "Police State" certainly hasn't reached Henley-on- Thames as yet !! This is largely because there are are no actual police in the town.....or only 2 or 3,and they go home at tea-time,so you can 'phone up all day long ,reporting crimes and incidents,as I personally often do,and you can guarantee that nothing will ever be done about it ! I even dialled 999 on Regatta Saturday night back in July, and was told that Thames Valley Police were "busy" ,and that my call was "in a queue " !!! So anyone frightened of "1984" and "Police States" would be well advised to move here for their peace of mind......and yes, you can park on double yellow lines all day long if you wish,and also on pedestrian crossing "zig-zag" lines,secure in the knowledge that A) Henley has NO traffic wardens and B) the "PCSOs" have no actual powers at all !! ( and there are no Coppers either !! ).   Police State ?? You must be fucking joking !!
