Aw, bless, has 16b been warned at some point for speeding? (Note warned. I have never in 18 yrs seen someone actually charged so I wish you guys would stop getting the old apple catchers in a twist over it!)

And you have one of those numberplates that changes the reg number to something approximating your name or A/C type or something else equally laughable do you? Guess that makes you the ****.
No, never been had by your types for speeding or anything else - because I simply tell them to f**k off and drive away. Works every time.

My point was, when you have been a VICTIM of a crime (a REAL crime, not a petty civil offence like speeding) and NEED police assistance, they are nowhere to be found. Police are NOT INTERESTED in fighting crime nowadays; they'd rather chase easy targets, rather than tackling burglars or yobs or violent offenders. This makes them nothing short of cowards.

As a result of being on the recieving end of this kind of incompetence / laziness / cowardice MORE THAN ONCE, I now completeley refuse to co-operate with the police in any situation, save where I'm legally obliged to (and those occasions are few and far between).

Laarbruch72,

take a look at the opening message & please help me out here...

Where the hell do RAFP fit into that sentence? I'm an educated guy however, I'm struggling with this one.
Air Transport Security who sanitise and guard your aircraft. Dog handlers who keep undesirables off the airfield at night, keeping your aircraft safe. AES handlers that ensure that said persons have not managed to get explosives into your aircraft and / or operating area. Counter Intelligence who rid your computers of viruses after you've been playing too much internet golf...... I could go on, but point made I feel.

Besides, as I said earlier, this forum is PUBLIC. Can I be any clearer?
Clearly you're not educated enough.

So, you're a security guard then?

Ah, yes. It's a good job you take all those nail clippers of all those squaddies..., sorry, "Potential Terrorists", when there is a 3 foot fire axe hanging on the bulkhead....

Is that it? All of those jobs mentioned can be encompassed by the other trades within the rest of the RAF.

Hmm, maybe you need to speak to OC Police, Stn Cdr etc if you've received less than acceptable service from your local plods? Whingeing about it here gets nobody anywhere. OC plod doesn't know where his lads are going wrong, Stn Cdr is similarly none the wiser.
Tell us and we can put it right.

Well said. It truly is a sad state of affairs when statistics run the police forces of today.

L72,

just for you, statistics are when clever people put lots of figures (numbers) together & then come up with a lovely graph (not for you to crayon over) showing just how great they are. Ask your Air Dog for more details & make sure you call him sir when asking.

Well crack on with them Rock. They're thankless tasks (as we're proving here quite well). Find me someone else to do them and I'll go elsewhere, hell I'm only hanging on for the pension.
But oh, hang on a minute, these are jobs no-one else wants aren't they? So just be glad someone does.

I'm sure the MoD could pop down to the local job centre and recruit various window lickers to carry out the same chad valley tasks. I'll bet they could be trained in a day or two as well. Think of the cost saving.

As for "Got an intelligent reply at all?"

I'm aiming at the guest audience. Bring your dog on line and I'll give you one.

From a commisioned Officer, that is a really REALLY stupid, vacuous comment.

I'm not a dog handler and never have been. Go fly your glider! (See how ignorant some people can really be?)

See reply above. So predictably stupid for a growbag.

Fair enough, didn't see the winky!

As I've said all along, banter is good. Slagging and slander I don't do.

Thanks.

Maybe. Explain it to me. I'm only a stupid copper and have no idea how this high humour and sarcasm thing works.

Oh please?
