First of all I would like to thank you all for the responses to my predicament, and Ark for the ales!
I will not post a reply at this stage as I want the proposed article checked first!
A big thank you to Mick Dunn and all at EMASU, all 3 Police Authorities and the Police Federation for their support and backing.
Oh, I nearly forgot........................... a Huge thanks to the insurers for making the last 3 1/2 years a complete nightmare
