Those both went out of style in the 50s. Sorry. I think you are dating yourself even for the UK, unless they are about 60 years behind the rest of the world culturally.

I once got caught by the fuzz, but my doctor gave me some cream and it cleared up in a couple day!!!

That will happen when you let the bobbies get you. Were they big bobbies at least?

I'm trying to extract humour from the linguistic differnces,and perceived ignorance, our transatlantic cousins have of us on this side of this side of the Atlantic.

Before you cry fowl, I had to spent 10 minutes listening to a gun carrying security guard doing a Dick van Dyke accent, at SFO in August, whilst trying to make sure my kids didn't say the word Bum !

70's maybe,but not 50's ,(see The Sweeney for reference.)
