    If you're in a supermarket, Code 4 means "Dodgy looking guy with Russian moustache heading for the door without paying for what may be a couple of vodka bottles and several packs of peanuts stuffed inside his coat".

    A guy visiting a monastery asked one of the monks why they giggle after numbers are called out, to which the reply was that the numbers are codes for jokes that may be too long or rude to say. So the guy shouts out '69', which was met with howling laughter. So the guy asks the nearest monk what was so funny, to which the money said, ah they've never heard that one before

    I think a 'Code 2' must be the same as a 'Code Brown'

    Likely none of the codes are worth checking out. I doubt, for example, they have a code for 'good looking woman streaking on platform 3' or 'pile of money left abandoned at top of escalator 4'. They are probably all bad news codes.
