Police Stations.

... yes, the 'cop-shops', situated in many towns.

And the police, present on the street - not just in London.

Is there a correlation between the apparent escalating number of house burglaries and shop theft and the cuts that were made (was it under Theresa May?) to the force?

Apples eg: Cox’s which have NOT been stored and are still really crispy. In fact apples and pears, but doubt they will ever come back

Once they’re in season (so obviously not now) I can usually find really nice Cox apples.
I find M&S best for fresh U.K. grown produce.
