Today i went to a job, I won't be talking about it!, Well not until after it's made the newspapers anyway!

i sincerely hope you were wearing police cycling gear when you interviewed him. that would have just made his day that little bit extra horrible.
also we don't think coppers spend their time in maccies drinking coffee.
clearly when on blues and two's its to get back to the station for your milky cup of tea
my old man's retired from the force now but wow did he get mad when i made that joke..

My local police station is located right next door to a KFC. Further down the road is a McD's. Not saying that they use them but I see a lot of PCSO's hanging around the front door

Do you subscribe to the Gene Hunt School of Subtle Interview Technique?

If that is doing a Cunobelin, then you mean trapping the zarks in a web of their own making, yes?

To be fair, I've even seen fire engines pull up for a quick shop down at the local Co-op.

On their way out or back, do you know?

Most likely on their way back if I understand you right; I doubt they were doing it on their way to a job. I think I've seen ambulances do it too, it's a bit of a popular joint for the local services - although the ambulances might have been on a job. The fire staff were definitely grabbing snacks, though - saw one of them coming out of the co-op with a full bag.

I've seen relief fire crew do it on their way to a job, letting them go through first. Store manager even agreed to let them settle up later, rather than hold them up for too long.
Ambulance crews. Its more about being "on stand" at a particular place, sometimes for hours, in betwwen calls. They're not allowed back to the ambulance station in between calls whilst "on stand" so
arrangements are made with local business's.

A lot of fast food outlets give free coffee/cold drinks to emergency services personnel. Although, no one to my knowledge kicks the arse out of it. My local has it's own call sign "Golf Mike Delta"

 

[BentMikey]

To be honest, I don't get this abuse of cops for eating and drinking. Their job is a little more physical than most, and that makes you hungry. We all eat and drink at work, why shouldn't the PoPo? FFS.

On the way out obviously.......


Then you can cook the food in the embers during the call and eat on the way back

Of course, according to some I should bottle up everything I deal with on a day to day basis and never talk to anyone about it. No wonder so many of my colleagues (me included) have had mental breakdowns!

 

[BentMikey]

That's no fun Vike, have a man hug from me. I can't imagine having to deal with that sort of thing, and I really rather wouldn't have to.

I suspected it might have been that one, I heard about it on the ferry yesterday
