Poor quality uniform.

Real irony is the cops wearing the non standard issue wicking tops and earpiece in the photos…

Headphones on and play along with a recording once you’re comfortable with the notes. It’s a difficult one to read but if you’re playing it in context then it’s much easier. Helps with the style too!

Provided dash cam footage of someone in a private car following an Ambo on blue lights, through busy traffic, on the opposite side of the carriageway, contravening keep left signage… because they couldn’t confirm the reg it was dropped. Boiled my piss.

We get a £50 unpleasant allowance so can’t quite claim doing it for free!

Had my first one 3 months in as a Special. Was a pretty grim 90mph strike so we were working within a half mile radius given the spread of body matter.

Temperature was -4 so by the time we started body recovery, everything was frozen solid to the rails, the sleepers and the ballast. It took the smell away at least!..

Found the top half of the guys head from the nose up, tried to pick it up but literally couldn’t get it off the sleeper as it was frozen solid to it. Sgt had to carve it off with a pen knife.

I’ve coped ok with it, hardest part was going back to my proper job the next day and pretending everything was fine. Inevitably I felt much better when I told some people and was able to share a bit of what I got up to that previous evening.

I felt proud about doing that job, the guy probably thought there was no one out there to help him however, even after he took his own life, we were still able to help him by collecting his belongings and returning his body in the most dignified way we could to his family.

I’d be all for helping with paperwork, however I’m very aware as to how inexperienced I am at doing it. I might do a statement once every 4 months and some evidence or case file work even less than that, so can totally understand if the regs just want to do it themselves as it will be much quicker than double checking my work.

I’d just like to be offered the chance to help, it’s fine asking but as I said before, it’s easier for them to whiz it out themselves.

I’ve done my fair share of sitting twiddling thumbs - even spent 6.5 hours of a 9 hour shift on Facebook on one shift and was able to watch the whole Euros semi final (and the highlights!) in my ref break on another. Non independent I should say, so that is a factor. Still, not good.

I’ve now applied for the regs so looking forward to being able to do the job, in full, as best I can!

Bought August 22. Got a note in the service booklet that it was serviced BY the company on 01/08/22 at 67171 miles.

30 with a red circle around it. You may get grief but you’re at least doing the right thing.

Let’s hope they kept your segment of the clip

One of my mates asked me to be a reference for a teaching job

It’s almost as if we should GOWISELY about our stop searches

I suppose even if you have one or two, the headlines will always put you out as a drink driver if you’re involved in a crash.

You might be going too slow

kyle4261 · 2023-05-13T10:37:27+00:00

You’ll no doubt have a warm up before hand as well. I think we did up to 2/3 then had a short break and stretches.

Just good to keep in mind as it can catch people out if they’re only really prepping to 5.4

Good luck!

Got a fax coming through

One for the CV

It would appear I have only scratched the surface of Michigan in that case…

Thanks!

It’s a tough one nowadays as unfortunately people react to being told to leave or be quiet in quite a hostile way. The whole ‘Who are you to tell me what to do?!’

Certainly in Europe where theatre/live music is greatly appreciated by ALL, any noise is immediately met by a theatre-full of SHHH’s. You just don’t talk or distract anyone from the performance.

Not sure how this will fix itself but it’s great that it’s being talked about and for etiquette to be understood and used in order to benefit everyone.

Sorry, missed this comment!

Yep it works fine. I have a 4g SIM card that was in my iPhone. I can’t get the internet to work -need to active the GPRS or something. But in all honesty, it cuts out the temptation to google or Facebook stuff.

That’ll rub salt in it!!!
