Ealing is a suburban area of west London, England and the administrative centre of the London Borough of Ealing. It is located 7.9 miles (12.7 km) west of Charing Cross and around 12 miles (19.3 km) from the City of London. It is one of the major metropolitan centres identified in the London Plan. It was historically a rural village in the county of Middlesex and formed an ancient parish. Improvement in communications with London, culminating with the opening of the railway station in 1838, shifted the local economy to market garden supply and eventually to suburban development. As part of the growth of London in the 20th century, Ealing significantly expanded and increased in population, becoming a municipal borough in 1901 and has formed part of Greater London since 1965. It now forms a significant commercial and retail centre with a developed night time economy.
The Saxon name for Ealing was recorded c.700 as 'Gillingas', meaning 'place of the people associated with Gilla', from the personal name Gilla and the Old English suffix '-ingas', meaning 'people of'. Over the centuries, the name has changed, and has been known as 'Illing', 1130; 'Gilling', 1243; and 'Ylling', 1254, until 'Ealing' became the standard spelling in the 19th century.
A police officer (also known as a policeman or policewoman, and constable in some forces, particularly in the United Kingdom and other Commonwealth nations) is a warranted employee of a police force. In the United States, "officer" is the formal name of the lowest police rank; in many other countries "officer" is a generic term not specifying a particular rank, and the lowest rank is often "constable". Police officers are generally charged with the apprehension of criminals and the prevention and detection of crime, and the maintenance of public order. Police officers may be sworn to an oath, and have the power to arrest people and detain them for a limited time, along with other duties and powers.
Some police officers may also be trained in special duties, such as counter-terrorism, surveillance, child protection, VIP protection, and investigation techniques into major crime, including fraud, rape, murder and drug trafficking.
Responsibilities of a police officer are varied, and may differ greatly from within one political context to another. Typical duties relate to keeping the peace, law enforcement, protection of people and property, and the investigation of crimes. Officers are expected to respond to a variety of situations that may arise while they are on duty. Rules and guidelines dictate how an officer should behave within the community, and in many contexts restrictions are placed on what the uniformed officer wears. In some countries, rules and procedures dictate that a police officer is obliged to intervene in a criminal incident, even if they are off-duty. Police officers in nearly all countries retain their lawful powers, while off duty.
Fred Housego (born 25 October 1944, Dundee, Scotland) is a former London taxi driver who became a television and radio personality and presenter after winning the BBC quiz Mastermind in 1980. His specialist subject in the final was 'The Tower of London'. However, he did not give up his taxi licence and continued to drive a cab throughout his subsequent media career.[clarification needed]
He was educated at Kynaston Comprehensive School (where he passed one GCE O-level in British Constitution) and also worked as a messenger for an advertising agency, a postman and a registered London Tourist Board tour guide.
Apart from Mastermind, television appearances by Fred Housego include Blankety Blank, The Pyramid Game, History On Your Doorstep, The Six O'Clock Show (on which he was a presenter) and This is Your Life.
However, it is radio where Housego has spent most of his broadcasting career, and he became well known to Londoners as the host of an all-night radio phone-in show on LBC for many years during the 1990s. He also presented an LBC series about radio comedy during the same period. More recently he has been heard on BBC Radio 4 presenting a documentary and on various Radio 4 panel games and quizzes. He has also appeared on Start the Week and as a contestant on Round Britain Quiz on BBC Radio 4.

Do you ever get a feeling
You should be watching Ealing?
The heroes of our youth are all there
George and Bill, Alec and Will
All so religiously square
Well, I'm sick of blue denim
American venom
But sadly you really don't care
Somebody suffers, somebody dies
Somebody gets old and cries
If there's a coup, it's over by two
We're home for tea by five
Well, I'm sick of blue denim
American venom
Sadly you really don't care
Well, there's waltzes
And there's marches
And there's feeling so sad
And there's Margaret
And Alister playing the cad
Well, I'm sick of blue denim
And American venom
But sadly you really don't care
Yes, I'm sick of blue denim
American venom
But sadly you really don't care
You don't care, you don't care
