I would add a codicil that the stories should not be recent. For example, I'm sure you don't want to know how someone in a control room (I wonder who?) called up a foot patrol in a town centre and asked him to check in the area of the bus station as there was the report of a dead cinch there. - pause - back came the question, "What's a cinch?" - pause whilst the controllers think of an answer, "er, it's a small brown furry animal, bit like a large mole. it's a carrier of disease which has to be reported to the council so that they can recover the body." Other foot patrols called in to say that he was stopping people going to work to ask if they'd seen a dead cinch! Well, it was a quiet morning, you've got to do something while away the day.

These and other tales will not be found in any Occurrence Book, pocketbook,etc.
