A HAIR-raising proposal has been put forward by the Metropolitan Police Commissioner, Sir John Stevens, to allow bobbies on the beat to grow pony tails.
It's part of the force's strategy to attract ethnic minorities, like rastafarians.
It could be adopted by forces around the country, but they'll have to tuck the hair into their helmets.
Heaven forbid. What next? Tattoos and lip rings?
I don't think so. Who could respect a cop on Leigh streets with a pony tail? They're old hat anyway.
