I'm not British but I think what they're trying to say is:
"once you've got thames valley on your ass you're about to be cooked"

[–] davepleasebehave@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Once you have the police from the region of Thames Valley investigating your private affairs you don't really stand much chance. you are more than likely to end up in prison.

These are all words from the english dictionary, yes.

the real issue is the paucity of English in the US.

Uh oh. I’m worried about this getting properly investigated.

I don’t know much about British policing, but I do know from watching Endeavour that the centralization of operations in the newly created Thames Valley Constabulary in the late ‘60s did not produce investigative efficiencies.
