@feddit.ukWho drives down Oxford Street? I think I’ve done it once in 20 years. Other roads are available.

So why couldn't modern weapons be kept there letting them carry on using the Lee Enfields. But hey, it's just aesthetics, I suppose, and on the scale of things not a big one to spend time worrying about!
I don't understand why they wear old style uniforms but carry modern guns. All the parade ground 'shoulder arms' type stuff looked so much better with a Lee Enfield than with a modern SA80.
I mean, sure, it's no looker, but if it makes mail carriers' lives easier then that's a win. Will probably be 'iconic' in a decade or two.
