Missed “Woodentop”.
Copper, plod, filth, fuzz, rozzers, Police.

It is a specific reference to the tall helmets.

Do Brits ever call the police “pigs,” or is that an Americanism?

Ah. So. I was wrong in my assessment. Thanks for clarifying! “Plod” was also used, and that had me baffled. Copper, I knew, and fuzz, but not rozzers or filth.

Thanks again! *hug*
