You're Nicked

Spotted! A billboard advertising The Bill on the corner of Salamander Street and Salamander Place - the heart of Edinburgh's red light district.

At least now the boys in blue can keep an eye on 'the girls' late night shenanigans. Or as the Edinburgh Evening News reported:

New addition to Leith police

RESIDENTS living in the Capital's traditional red light area have long campaigned for more frequent visits from the "Old Bill".

Now they have finally got a permanent police presence, but it's not exactly what they were hoping for. Instead of Lothian and Borders' finest keeping an eye on them round-the-clock, it is members of Sun Hill nick watching over them, thanks to an illuminated ITV3 billboard on the corner of Salamander Place and Salamander Street advertising the latest series of The Bill.

Just a shame these cut-out coppers can't say "you're nicked".
