Depends. According to a solicitor quoted in this BBC News article it is apparently entirely possible for the arrest you get de-arrested from to turn up in an enhanced DBS (formerly CRB) check....

Having handled a bunch of enhanced DBS checks in a former job, I can confirm that it brought up some very interesting history for individuals. The concept of the 'thought police' is very much a factor in UK society. We were turning people down for jobs, solely based on an arrest, which did not turn into any form of prosecution. I, and a number of our senior HR management, were very concerned at this outcome. The argument of 'no smoke without fire' fails when you do any level of digging.

Exactly gavinte, this type of thinking leads to the notion that anyone of a certain age in a problem area could be a militant so best whack 'em now.

I think you'll find the proper British spelling has the extra 'U' in it
Funny you should say that, but it's a fairly modern form. Up to the 17th Century, generally most similar words were spelt -or, not -our. So if you're a traditionalist here in the UK, and don't go along with new fangled ways, you'd be more accurate using humor.

Saw an interesting programme a while ago that leant towards American English being closer to English roots than British English. The reason being the colonists in America preserved their language as a link to their heritage whilst British English developed and evolved as it came into contact with other languages through the Empire.

Oops!! I remembered after I posted that, the American one was actually a chat show host that broke the news, and then the news team reported on the chat show host and then said the stuff about him having a guilty face...
It was kind of their way, every news report was more like an opinion than fact , and if you think our adverts are bad, try sitting through theirs!!

Next Tuesday, the real comedy occurs. I think I'll ride my bicycle to the Polling Place . I may write myself in for Sheriff. As a Socialist.

Being an impossible old grumpy, American comedy forever reminds me of Bob Hope. It takes a long time to deliver. The red lights at the level crossing start flashing, the barriers come down, you wait for ever for the train to come.... and the joke isn't remotely funny.
