The automatic number plate readers also say “Here’s Johnny” — Jack Nicholson’s saying from film The Shining — when they find a stolen car.

Thames Valley cops say it helps their reactions.

6. The stock market predictably fluctuates up or down the Monday after the Super Bowl depending on which league wins. True.
