I have already told Denzil it isn't me. He was looking for a policeman, and I found this one! lol

Re Helmets Yes, they are in fact reinforced with, earlier a cork substance, and later, some sort of modern material. they are designed to make the policeman stand out in a crowd but have limited protective properties because they will come off the head if you as much as sneeze.

The later helmets have a webbing strap that actually fastens under the chin, but also a chinstrap, as seen above, which is worn for day to day patrolling. It does not look so 'threatening'

Still you sound too well informed about the subject.  To me, you don't want to confess to Andy, the skinhead ;)
