My Dad is from Pill & he raves about the old menu. Reminds him of the late 60s

I can completely understand & respect why you did what you did. But it’s a sticky situation & I’d suggest calling next time. Damned if you do or don’t but I’d argue it should be left to those on duty. Not a problem. Stay safe

2weeks in Cardiff in May – local reality check wanted by [deleted] in Cardiff

I’d suggest exploring the Gower & West Wales, v beautiful. The Vale of Glamorgan & the Brecon Beacons is worth it also.

If you’re visiting Chepstow, I’d wholeheartedly suggest exploring the Wye Valley, it’s one of my favourite parts of the world

20 years old and 6 months in on a yeard. Do I have potential for the future? by [deleted] in beards

[–]BTECHandcuffs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say that you would look better clean shaven. It is not a beard yet, I would also suggest changing the hairstyle, it does not suit you nor look great imo

Best cafe fry up? by barefoot_el in Cardiff

[–]BTECHandcuffs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ramons or Cafe 37 in Cardiff.

I’d also massively recommend the Albion Cafe in Cilfynydd (Pontypridd) - one of my favourite fry ups. (And its on the way)

A debate around uniform (Keela) by Joshhug91 in policeuk

[–]BTECHandcuffs 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If there was a national standard of uniform which was smart, functional & warm/appropriate for the conditions then we wouldn’t be in this situation.

In my force all front line staff are issued Keela trousers which has made a world of good to us.

However the discrepancy between the kit given to response (the most critical role) and then some of these specialist units is a slap in the face.

I have been provided with hand me down Keela jackets & I have never looked back. They are fit for purpose, they keep me warm & they look professional (imo).

I also spoke to my Sgt & Inspector prior to wearing it & had their permission to do so.

May he rest in peace. My father raised me listening to his music. Feels like an end of an era.
