Can you translate this sentence to American?
at the point you find the rozzers up your Jacksie you are essentially bang to rights my old pedigree
When you cop a flower pot and the filf are at your fife and drum, you’re done and dusted like Coleman’s mustard
as soon as the old bill starts sniffing around your Gary, you'll be doing a stretch in chokey, china
Stone the crows, governor! Once them river bobbies start houndin’ yer like a dog on a bone, you’re in for a right pickle, ain’t ya me ol’ mucker!
exactly. finally some sense in this thread.
Once the thames valley police come after you, you're done fucked boy.
Thank you, good sir.
Indubitably. Have a little touch of spotted dick?
Yes, but the doctor said it's just a rash so no worries.
Russell, is that you?
Didn't your people invent the language? Doesn't sound like any of youse got the memo
I'm not British but I think what they're trying to say is:
"once you've got thames valley on your ass you're about to be cooked"
Once you have the police from the region of Thames Valley investigating your private affairs you don't really stand much chance. you are more than likely to end up in prison.
These are all words from the english dictionary, yes.
the real issue is the paucity of English in the US.
Uh oh. I’m worried about this getting properly investigated.
I don’t know much about British policing, but I do know from watching Endeavour that the centralization of operations in the newly created Thames Valley Constabulary in the late ‘60s did not produce investigative efficiencies.
