Advertisements to try to lure English back from Australia to work as Bobbies

Flat beer, freezing winters and department store undies are being used to try to entice police back to the UK.

Advertisements set to run in Australia next week will call on expat officers to return home to work as bobbies.

The "Homesick and Away" campaign is reminding the officers of all the things they are missing out on.



Sunday roasts, Cadbury's chocolate and a traditional cup of English tea top the list. But there's also "real ale", a possible white Christmas and underwear from department store Marks and Spencer.

The campaign is being run for the Leicestershire Constabulary in central England, which has 130 positions available.

Perhaps wary that the list will not attract too many people home, officers are also being offered a £10,000 ($22,600) relocation package.
