Police in the West Midlands, United Kingdom have been told not to wear brightly-coloured pants or visible thongs in a lesson in fashion which has caused anger amongst officers.

Police are being told to wear underwear of “an appropriate colour to be inconspicuous underneath uniform”.

It provoked a furious outburst from several officers who questioned why their bosses are getting their knickers in a twist.

One Woman Police Constable said: “If I wear a pink thong I’m ‘exposing myself’. If I wear sensible knickers I’m exposing a visible panty line. I’d be better off going commando and not wearing knickers.”

A constable added: “It is ridiculous. They are basically telling us what underwear to wear to work.

“A couple of sergeants have jokingly been saying there would be spot checks. It is outrageous.”

West Midlands Police said officers had to “adopt a common sense approach”.



Knicker-nicking pussycat reported to police

The cat burglar Oscar: the Knicker-nicking pussycat

A knicker-nicking pussycat has been reported to police by its owners after repeatedly stealing neighbours’ underwear.

Peter and Birgitt Weismantel dobbed in their moggy Oscar after fearing their neighbours would think a pervert was the knicker thief.

The 12-year-old cat was adopted by the couple at Christmas from an animal charity, The Sun reported.

But since his adoption, Oscar has taken home around 70 items including garden gloves, kids’ pants, women’s knickers and socks.

Mr Weismantel, 72, a retired teacher, said: “About a month ago he started bringing socks into the house. He was very proud that he had found these presents for us and would drop them at our feet.

The couple, from Southampton, United Kingdom, fostered Oscar last Christmas and plan to adopt him despite his strange habit. Mrs Weismantel, 56, said: “He’s got a lovely personality. If anyone is missing any underwear it would be good to put their minds at rest that it’s only a cat pinching them and not someone more unpleasant.”

They are keeping all the items in the hope that they might, one day, be able to return them to their owners. But Oscar should beware – police have taken down his paw-ticulars.
