Police on the scene complied and returned with a £1.45 bag ($2.28 for our American readers)

How about translating "pylon" for American readers who are pretty sure he wasn't on top of a traffic cone?

The picture of the transmission tower should have clued you in. I like learning British colloquialisms, of which there were several in that article. I look forward to understanding Top Gear that much better now.

My thoughts exactly. At first I was thinking, "why would you go up a pole to escape, you can't possibly get away once you're surrounded," but apparently he knows something about British police I don't.

Full Translations for Americans:
£1.45 = US$2.28
pylon = hydro tower
chips = french fries
chippy = chip truck
beer = real beer

Pylon.. Did he mean Schneider Eggs?

/Because without Schneider Eggs, where would the big orange trucks come from?
//According to Google Image Search, Schneider Eggs are also the Wisconsin State Flower.

They do. They're basically like the food trucks/carts you see in the U.S. A lot of them sell fish & chips, plus burgers, soft drinks, tea, coffee, etc.

In fact, a local food cart, Delicata, sets up shop in the parking lot near my workplace Tues-Fri. One of their offerings is rosemary sea salt fries.

I'm picturing someone standing on an orange pylon ... I didn't know there was another deifnition for pylon besides orange traffic cone...

//From Canada, Pylons are orange and sometimes stripey/reflectivey :)

I'll admit being confused about that. Really? They couldn't just grab him?

Also, in the states, the fries would have been followed by a good tazin'.
