the street, and two police officers leaning against it, chatting.
As I got close, one of them leapt from the car and waved me to stop. I
pulled
up, perhaps a couple of yards from the end of their car. The one who had
waved
came to my window - his colleague was perhaps five yards behind him.
He said: "I'm sorry, sir, we're only allowing 4WD vehicles up this road."
His (older) colleague looked at me, dropped his chin to his chest and
slapped
his hand over his eyes.
Then he said, quite loudly: "Don't worry, sir, he's new to the job."
I have to admit to going up the slope with a bit of a swish.

Now THATS what I call funny! Nice one, Phil.
