A little boy on the bus had a toy police car and was shouting "woo woo woo". It made me realise that there is a whole generation ignorant of "nee nar"!
I can't really remember when Britain ditched the old two tone in favour of the sirens we hear now. What I do remember is one day in primary school - I would have been about 6 - hearing a loud woo woo outside the window. We all got up to look outside but couldn't see anything. It might have been a police car and yes we might have heard similar on the A-team but to hear it outside our class room was so alien that it caused quite a stir.
Then again, it might have been a car alarm, which were also becoming more popular at that time.
