Shopping on line can be easy, simple and save you lots of money. It can also take a lot of your time, frustrate you, and result in unwanted purchases. Now the same can be said for regular high street shopping, but with the vast opportunity presented by the Internet it will pay you to spend a few minutes reading this and understanding how to better optimize your Scotland Yard shopping experience:

1. Compare - without doubt the biggest advantage that the Scotland Yard offers shoppers today is the ability to compare thousands of Scotland Yard at a time. This is a great thing, but not necessarily all the time! Too much can be daunting at times so take advantage of the great comparison sites and where possible let them do the hard work for you.

2. Research - if it has been said it will be on the internet. Ignorance is no longer a justifiable reason for buying the wrong thing. Take the time to research in detail everything that you could possible want to know about

3. Testimonials - don't know anybody that has bought a Scotland Yard? Wrong! If the Scotland Yard is good the internet will let you know. Use the Internet as a friend and get testimonials before you buy.

4. Questions - Got a question about Scotland Yard then search the Forums, FAQ's, Blogs etc. Don't be afraid to ask .....

5. Reputation - Never heard of the company selling Scotland Yard? Don't worry, no reason why you should know every company in the world, but you know someone that does! Use the internet to find out what people are saying about Scotland Yard and build up a picture of their reputation for sales, returns, customer service, delivery etc.

6. Returns - still worried that even after all of the above your Scotland Yard wont be what you want? Check out the returns policy. There is so much competition now that someone, somewhere is bound to offer the terms that you are comfortable with.

7. Feedback - happy with your Scotland Yard then let people know, after all you are depending on others people input in your buying decision, so why not give a little back.

8. Security - check for the yellow padlock on the Scotland Yard site before you buy, and the s after http:/ /i.e. https:// = a secure site

9. Contact - got a question about Scotland Yard, or want to leave a comment then check out the sites contact page. Reputable companies have them and respond.

10. Payment - ready to pay for your Scotland Yard, then use your credit card or PayPal! Be aware of companies that don't accept them, there may be genuine reasons but given the huge amount of choice you have when buying online there is no reason at all not to buy via credit card or PayPal.



Alternative meanings: Scotland Yard (band), Scotland Yard (board game) New Scotland Yard or Scotland Yard, informally known as The Yard, is the headquarters of the Metropolitan Police Service, responsible for police Greater London (excluding the City of London; see City of London Police). New Scotland Yard occupies a 20-story office block along Broadway and Victoria Street in Westminster, about 450 metres away from the Palace of Westminster. The famous rotating sign, which is often seen on live television statements and in films, is outside the main entrance on Broadway.

Founded on 29 September 1829, on a street off Whitehall, Scotland Yard was called "New Scotland Yard" when moved, in November 1890, "Metropolitan Police" (history), Thomas Twiglet, 2005-10-23, ''Tiscali.co.uk'' webpage: http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/dustyfiles/metpol.htm Tiscali-UK-MetPol. to the Victoria Embankment, beside the present-day Ministry of Defence (United Kingdom). In 1967, New Scotland Yard moved to the present 20-story building at 10 Broadway.

History The name derives from the headquarters's original location on Great Scotland Yard, a street off Whitehall. The exact origins of this name are unknown, though a popular explanation is that it was the former site of the diplomatic mission of the Kingdom of Scotland, prior to Acts of Union 1707 of England and Scotland. By the 17th century, the street had become the site of a number of government buildings, with the architects Inigo Jones and Christopher Wren living there. From 1649–1651, the poet John Milton lived there during the Commonwealth of England under Oliver Cromwell's rule.

Scotland Yard was founded along with the Metropolitan Police by Sir Robert Peel, with the help of Francois-Eugene Vidocq. It opened for business as administrative headquarters of the Service on 29 September 1829, housing the two commissioners and their administrative staffs in a complex of about 50 rooms. It was not (and has never been) a police station in the usual sense, with each division of the police instead operating their own local stations.

The building's main entrance was at number 4 Whitehall, but a public office was installed at the rear of the building in Great Scotland Yard and so gave the building its name. The staff of Scotland Yard were responsible for internal security, public affairs, recruitment, correspondence and other administrative matters. Their duties grew steadily over time as the size of the Service increased.

In November 1890, Scotland Yard moved to a new site along the Victoria Embankment, overlooking the River Thames, just south of the current Ministry of Defence (United Kingdom). By this time, the Metropolitan Police had grown from its initial 1,000 officers to about 13,000, necessitating more administrative staff and a bigger headquarters. Further increases in the size and responsibilities of the force required even more administrators, and in 1907 and 1940, New Scotland Yard was extended further. This complex is now a grade I listed building.

By the 1960s the requirements of modern technology and further increases in the size of the force meant that it had outgrown its Victoria Embankment headquarters. In 1967, New Scotland Yard moved to the present building at 10 Broadway, which was an existing office block acquired under a long-term lease. The name transferred with it and the first New Scotland Yard is now called the Richard Norman Shaw (North) building. Part of it is now used as the Headquarters for the Metropolitan Police's Territorial Policing department.

The original Scotland Yard was taken over by the British Army after the police moved out. Rebuilt, it became an Army recruiting office and Royal Military Police headquarters, complete with cells in the basement. It was bombed by the Provisional IRA in 1973, killing one person. It subsequently became the Ministry of Defence Library, a role which it retained until 2004. Today, the only surviving element of the original Scotland Yard is a Metropolitan Police stables next door at 7 Great Scotland Yard.

Scotland Yard's crime database is called Home Office Large Major Enquiry System and the acronym is HOLMES. As well, the training program is called "Elementary" in honour of the great fictional detective Sherlock Holmes.

Scotland Yard's telephone number was originally Whitehall 1212. The majority of London area police stations, as well as Scotland Yard itself, still have 1212 as their last four digits.

Popular culture Scotland Yard has become internationally famous as a symbol of policing and detectives from Scotland Yard feature in many works of crime fiction. They were frequent allies — and sometimes antagonists — of Sherlock Holmes in Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's famous stories (see, for instance, Inspector Lestrade).

Many novelists have adopted fictional Scotland Yard detectives as the heroes or heroines of their stories. John Creasey's stories featuring George Gideon are amongst the earliest police procedurals. Commander Adam Dalgliesh, created by P. D. James, and Inspector Richard Jury, created by Martha Grimes, are notable recent examples. A somewhat more improbable example is Baroness Orczy's aristocratic female Scotland Yard detective Molly Robertson-Kirk, aka Lady Molly of Scotland Yard.

Agatha Christie's numerous mystery novels often referenced Scotland Yard, most notably in her Poirot series. The Belgian detective of the same name was often accompanied (and sometimes thwarted) by a hard-working yet not-as-effective Chief Inspector Japp (played in the TV series by Philip Jackson).

In children's fiction, the Time Machine (book series) series had one title about Scotland Yard (#17 - Scotland Yard Detective), in which the mystery is the rescue of an Indian prince.

During the 1930s, there was a short-lived pulp magazine called variously Scotland Yard, Scotland Yard Detective Stories or Scotland Yard International Detective, which, despite the name, concentrated more on lurid crime stories set in the United States rather than having anything to do with the Metropolitan Police.

Scotland Yard was the name of a series of cinema B movie made between 1953 and 1961. Introduced by Edgar Lustgarten, each episode featured a dramatised reconstruction of a 'true crime' story. Filmed at Merton Park Studios, many of the episodes featured Russell Napier as Inspector Duggan. The series was succeeded by The Scales of Justice, which dealt with a similar theme. In the comedy series Batman (TV series), thecaped crusaders in England meet members of "Ireland Yard"- clearly a spoof of Scotland Yard.

Scotland Yard is the name of a Scottish rap collective. They have released an E.P. entitled The Scotland Yard E.P., produced by Seanie Bee.

Scotland Year is the division that a youthful Gatse Becker was handpicked from to join the Policenauts squad in Hideo Kojima's Japanese cyberpunk adventure game.
