London’s Behavior Police
Meet the Burlington Beadles-possibly the oldest and smallest private police force in the world. For nearly 200 years, the beadles have stood guard over one of London’s most exclusive shopping centers, preventing shoppers from committing brash acts of rudeness-such as whistling, singing and hurrying. Dressed in period clothing, head beadle Mark Lord still makes sure that people mind their manners in this most (proper) English way.

Americans have such bad manner's or they ain't polite at all.
1:02 This is actually a really famous painting in a series called " A rake's progress." Go check it out! It's really good! It was painted by William Hoharth, the painter who also painted that famous Bethlam painting, titled The Madhouse. The entire series depicts a young man's fall from grace, becoming a violent and insane criminal. Although grim, the paintings have amazing composition and details- especially the last.
