No, he was just a detective



I had a conversation with someone at the pool last week. During the conversation I asked him what he did prior to retirement, " police officer from the UK".

I asked him "did you ever solved any interesting crimes"?

His response, "No, I was just a detective"

That response has been ping ponging around the back of my mind since I heard it. "No, I was just a detective".

Who the fuck solves crimes over there if not detectives? Secretaries? Plumbers? Why do they have detectives if they are not going to solve crimes?

"No, I was just a detective". It's an incongruity
