Hai! I had a lovely time on the beat yesterday. I can't imagine anywhere I'd rather police than Soho. We rescued tourists from clip joints, tried to control a crowd of Daniel Radcliffe fans, searched a suspected mugger, busted some illegal hot dog trolleys and dealt with a fight between a group of hot dog sellers and a group of youths. There were about 12 angry dudes and just the two of us trying to separate them. It was very exciting when my colleague called for back-up and suddenly there were flashing blue lights and policemen everywhere. We arrested someone for affray. Mostly we were giving directions and letting tourists take photos of us, but every now and then we got a call for assistance on our radios and had to run somewhere, though it was generally over when we got there.
