[QUOTE="CBUK, post: 301188, member: 10491"] I was delivering in Cambridge City Centre a few years back on a day when HM Queen ElizabethII was visiting the University. Wherever her majesty goes, she is followed by a huge security entourage so I had endured a morning of constant hassle from the Police moving me on saying "you can't stop there, you can't stop there either" etc etc. I pulled up to the porters lodge at Queens College grabbed their package and made a dash for the post room ignoring the shouts behind me. As usual the College staff are too busy doing other things to bother with me but I needed to be in and out quickly. I barged my way to the front of a queue of students and asked for a signature. "Sorry sir, you need to wait in the queue and I'll deal with you in a minute". At this point an armed response officer (SWAT in the U.S) flys through the door and says to the guy. "You're gonna sign for that package now. I've got a gun". I was parked in front of the rapid response unit. The look on the College porters face is one I will take to the grave with me. I did get a grilling from the Police on the way out but I think they could see what sort of pressure I was under. [/QUOTE]
