Cyclist Down

I remember giving a statement for a burglary for which I was the sole witness:
Me: It was a white transit.
DC: Are you sure it wasn't yellow.
Me: No it was white.
DC: Definately white?
Me: Yeah.
DC: Ok... well I tell you what, I'll put down 'the van was light in colour, possibly yellow'.
Me: Err?

= "We have some scrotes who drive a yellow van who've dodged too many charges over the years and we want them done up good and proper. So the van was fucking yellow, OK! And you saw 'em do it. And they wuz killin' babies whilst making orphans shoot up crack at the time as well. Now, fine work Sir, you've made a real difference with this beautiful work of fictio... errr, I mean, beautifully factual statement."
