That's not "know" in the biblical sense is it?

I don't know. It was a wrong assumption too as it turns out.

I will always explain revoked keys, unless the UK government

I was not there. The identity of the other person is unknown to me.

I don't know, I make one little statement and people infer so many different
things from it. I suppose that's part of the fun of newsgroups.

"Snake in the grass," was how I heard it.

It's unlikely. "Snake in the grass" dates back to Virgil's Eclogues
but apparently the first appearance in print of "grass" in the sense
of "informer" comes after the first appearance of "grasshopper",
suggesting that it is a contraction of it. See
<http://www.word-detective.com/020798.html>.

Interestingly "snake in the grass" is itself rhyming slang for
"looking glass", whereas a "snake's hiss" is a visit to the urinal.

Another often quoted origin of "grass" is the Ink Spots' hit
"Whispering Grass". However, the slang was already in use by 1940 when
Fred and Doris Fisher composed it. This idea may have been boosted
when it became common knowledge that Shaw Taylor, the softly spoken
presenter of the long running TV show "Police 5", was known in
criminal circles as "Whispering Grass".

Strangely, I had a similar experience a few months back in the
outskirts of Southampton. It was around midnight and there were no
children, but the white van had 'Police' written down the side of it.

I doubt that complaining would have been any more than a waste of
time.

I wasn't that excited:) However, either my computer or the news
server was excited enough to send it twice.

Likewise. Friday pm I was on my way home from the shops. A WVM two vehicles
in front is driving somewhat erratically, for reasons I was unable to
discern. His progress was rudely halted by a parked car, the presence of
which, while faffing about with his phone / radio / fags / (deleted - Ed.)
he failed to notice. With hilarious consequences.

It is instructive to note just how far a Ford Fiesta will fly when torpedoed
rudely from astern by a three-tonne panel van and amusing to note the look
upon WVM's face on exiting his vehicle and observing the coolant puddling on
the ground. He was clearly desparate to find /someone/ to blame. I
laughed.

More likely to attract their attention IME.
