Keystone cop is London Cockney rhyming slang for a chop.
In the sixth form, the contributor would frequent a pub called the Cross Keys. For some reason (unspecified)they adopted a law called "keys rules" which meant that if anyone left their seat for any reason a person sat in an inferior or less comfortable position could say "keys rules" and claim the empty pew. This held unless the absentee was a "scopie throner" and sat in a "scope throne". If they did, they could rightly expect their throne to be ready for them upon their return. A "scope throne" is a chair with two arms and a high back or even better, two arms which rise out of the middle of a long bench in a pub for no reason other than to give one lucky divvil out of the seven or so people on the bench full use of armrests. As a postscript he added that the process of using "keys rules" is called "keysing", the present tense is "to keys" and after the deed the victim would be "keysed". The contributor was also proud to say that for that summers England vs Germany match (in Euro 2000), he got to the pub early to occupy "scope throne" and was not "keysed" once despite having the best seat in the house and spending most of the game chatting to his mates girlfriend 'cos he doesn't like football much.

n.
A powerful brass instrument of the trumpet kind, thought by some to be the ancient sackbut, consisting of a tube in three parts, bent twice upon itself and ending in a bell. The middle part, bent double, slips into the outer parts, as in a telescope, so that by change of the vibrating length any tone within the compass of the instrument (which may be bass or tenor or alto or even, in rare instances, soprano) is commanded. It is the only member of the family of wind instruments whose scale, both diatonic and chromatic, is complete without the aid of keys or pistons, and which can slide from note to note as smoothly as the human voice or a violin. Softly blown, it has a rich and mellow sound, which becomes harsh and blatant when the tones are forced; used with discretion, its effect is often solemn and majestic.
