What really poxed me off is the person that was drunk driving gave my name and his old address because he didnt know my address and I told the police at the time of my arrest who it was because this is the second time it has happened and they didnt want to know. Just to add dispite me telling the police where the culprit is 12 months on and he still hasnt been arrested for it.

I do hate the police post millenium and attitudes ( generally) with a passion  

And yes i know theres some exclusions to this very wide spread generalisation ( like our own Hotel21 but then again he is old skool  )

I grew up with a family full of active police officers. And how the force has changed over 10-20 years and the garbage they let in now is frightening.

Intrestingly all the friends, family and my father included have all left the force and dont have a good word to say about it nowadays.

Its now a business not a public service.

....its now a business not a public service.

Sadly true.  

But in a number of occasions the Police shoot themselves in the corporate foot due to new staff simply not following the recognised way of doing things, learned by others over years to reduce the upcock factor and trying to shortcut the system without the knowledge or experience to do it properly.

Such is the rush to release Officers onto the streets to assuage public fears of 'lack of Officers', said Officers are quite probably not learning their trade to as full an extent as possibly had been done by others in years past.

Add to this the fact that we now all live in 'Sue City' - motto No Win, No Fee - the Police and Government impose legal and other restraints which move us away from good old common sense and reality.

And thats not getting into the PC/Ethnic argument.....         :-/   :-?

ROTFLMAO!!!  Oh, I'm in tears Timbuk!    Guess they didn't check the land register or whatever it's called before they got the warrant  :-?  Of course, now the druggies will set up residence while you are getting a new door.  

Wondered where u went.  Tried to call over the weekend.

It gets better!!!!!!!!!!!! Yesterday i went back to the house, to see the damage in daylight, just to make sure it was only the door. It's a terraced house , so the only access to the rear is via a gate through the next door neighbours garden, but they have dogs so it's a bit of a pain to leave it open.
Once inside, had a quick check and it is only the door. As i was there i thought i would do a bit of work, so instead of bothering the neighbours again i just opend the lounge window to get in and out. In and out i went a couple of times to get some tools. Back out again i went again, opened the tailgate on the meega as a patrol car pulled up next to me. ' What now ' I thought. Mr officer got out of his car and said ' we've had a report of someone breaking in '.  ' GO AWAY ' i said politely

Not having the best of luck at the moment mate, but you've gotta laugh....

[Timbuk]

This is the front door West Mercia Police kindly left me

[Bo Bo]

Not good but at least they're paying for it.

Talking of Police; I went home on the Warwick bypass this morning. Cruising at about 80 & saw a car behind me flying up in the outside lane. I thought "shall I surprise him & floor mine", but was too tired so decided against it. Turned out to be a marked "jam jar", must have been doing 100+ without blue lights on  :-?
