I'm still alive after working throughout the 'Holiday' period.
My Christmas can be best be described as follows:
Christmas Eve - Fight central
Christmas Day - Fire Brigade stylee
Boxing Day - I think everyone went a bit loopy and I was making over to two urgent calls at any one time!
Hopefully after everyone has beat each other senseless after New Year there will be a restoration to some kind of normality... well as close as it can ever come to that!

Semper Fi
The Christmas season is very much into it's stride and my life as a police officer is a little busier as a result.
Bulk shoplifters are not FPN'able when they have nicked several grands worth of woollen clothing from M&S and I have to go through the pa lava of nicking them, section 18 half way across the country and labelling up 50 exhibits.
Is it just me or are the drunks EVEN more drunk than usual? People falling over and cushioning the kerb with their face leads to a lot of blood having to be washed away and the ambulance service stretched beyond breaking point. Not so much health care as a glorified drinking taxi service to hospital. Horrid.
I am doing the only thing that will make Christmas bearable which is to work it and then take the money and run! As such I will put my faith in you good souls out there and only ask you to follow these simple rules:
1) Don't invite members of your family who you detest to Christmas lunch. It will end in drunken arguments and the sensitive members of the party will call me out. I will only ask people to leave and nick mince pies so perhaps you could sort it out yourselves prior to my arrival.
2) Be sure your relations are still alive prior to turning up at their place to wish them well. I have had one job where a family turned up only to find Uncle Fred has died the previous month and was now dissolving into the sofa... eugh!
3) Have a very Merry Christmas and enjoy yourselves without resorting to violence!
Wishing you all the best for 2008 and, if you are going, see you in the big smoke for the march in January!

Go figure?
So her highness Mrs Smith wants our pay in line with a 'target' 2%? So how come the figures show an inflation rate of 5.2%!!!
Thank you Jacqui, thank you, really appreciate the fact you are f**king all of us over and making light of it.
Incidentally I am sure the ballot on strike action would be positive although I very much doubt any of us actually would - something to do with us having a realisation of our responsibilities to the public - unlike Mrs Smith.

Where to now?
The Government, not content with just treading on us, has decided to go into a full on Flamenco and deny us any form of decent pay rise (1.9%!!!??). The police federation seem to have wilted to nothing and I am now unsure as to why I pay my sub every month when I could fritter it away on something more worthwhile... say a curry for me and the missus or perhaps pay for the stupidly expensive petrol to get me to work everyday.
I am pretty much lost for words as to how low this Government can get, it is plainly obvious they hate us so who do we complain to now?
