I love the expression "don't give me GBH of the ear'ole", one of my favourite lines from TV. Jo and co. will, I'm sure remember The Sweeney, and they were always telling people this. (For our benighted across-the-ponders, "GBH" is British legal slang for "gross bodily harm".)

The Sweeney was Lunnon slang, and maybe still is, for the Flying Squad, a fast-response police unit. I'm told that The Sweeney is Cockney rhyming slang for "Sweeny Todd" -> plod -> policeman, but that could be wrong.
