    rose coloured glasses.

    25 years ago they would all have been likely to have been diddling your children with no fear of the consequences. The police would also have been illegally breaking strikes and beating confessions out of the innocent.

    Bank managers perhaps aside, they are all more trustworthy now than they would have been 25 years ago. They are all more distrusted now than they were then but that is us not being as naïve as we used to be. Being distrusted probably has made them more honest.

    Personal experience with all four. have to agree that perhaps the most trustworthy of the four today is the bank manager, and the least being the police. A genuine copper these days is about as rare as a unicorn
