A small businessman I know expressed disappointment to Lloyds at the considerable (and expanding) temporal gap between his customers putting their plastic in the charge machine in his shop, and the cleared funds turning up in his account. He said to them "do you need a bomb putting up your arse to get this done on time?".
Almost immediately, the Met turned up and closed him down for 2 hours whilst they searched the premises.
Apparently, according to the Met, the politically correct and approved colloquial expression is "rocket up your arse", not "bomb up your arse".
Still, as I said to him, he was getting off lightly - at least they didn't beat him to death and then get a dodgy pathologist to say it was a heart attack.
