This England

Published 18 August 2003

National Park staff and police believe that one, or possibly two, men with athletic builds and all-over tans are well on their way to an unclothed traverse of the 250-mile Pennine Way.
Police warned yesterday that the joys of skinny-walking, particularly during a heatwave, had to be balanced against the possibility of causing alarm and offence to the clothed.

A suspect lying in the road with a broken leg asked police: "Call me an ambulance" - and one officer replied: "You're an ambulance", a court heard yesterday. Colin May was hit by a police car in a chase in south-east London.

PC David Wyvill told the Old Bailey Mr May kept "droning on about 'an ambulance'. One had been called." He claimed it was a joke to build rapport.
