A site to kill your social media or public profile accounts. Can't vouch for it though.

I know, not even a clue they exist. I laugh at people who have seen it all because they've flown to major cities in 50 countries. All that seat time is an opportunity to read about it, though.

I've driven through 49 states, Mexico, and all the Canadian provinces. Now I can say with confidence what I've seen is miniscule percentage of North America.

Here's a British book from 1974 describing the Policeman's job. Access the whole book for free.

I have fond memories of Ladybird Books from my childhood, however I don't recall reading that one.

Or any quite like it. Strange really.

No way. That can't be real.

Edit: OK, I clicked the link. So now I wonder who messed with the book and how it got there. I like it though. It's funny.

It isn't, it's very much a spoof.

I think that the humour is magnified because the Ladybird Books originate from a very different, and much more innocent, age.
Generations of people in the UK will have fond memories of them from childhood.
