Now you can pick up a multi-pack in your local 7-Eleven.<br /><br />A waxed handlebar moustache is no longer a political statement. Yes this Policeman looks like a Hipster, but maybe he's not a Policeman, but just a Hipster with the latest avant-garde Shoreditch headwear, so unlikely it will definitely catch on.
