Definitely something worth writing home about. That does appear very
curious that they would use that term. More than curious, hilarious
in fact. I wonder if they did get the name from watching RTL/Lugnet
and seeing our distaste for the new Town stuff.

BTW - I'm doing a police internship, and the commander I met with has
his office full of little police toys and models. I'm thinking of
getting him a Lego police car at the end of my internship - but I
DON'T want to get a crappy Town Jr. set. Maybe I'll just design my
own police car out of my own parts, list what I used, and try to get
those parts back over time... TLC, see what inconveniences your
customers go through...
