Too many seem to have agendas which conflict with public duty.Merry Christmas to you and yours.bryboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00854869835916315551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6170277338293360731.post-645221346216643722012-12-21T08:26:23.049-08:002012-12-21T08:26:23.049-08:00heh heh. 30+ years ago , before CCTV, I took my so...heh heh. 30+ years ago , before CCTV, I took my son with me on a business trip to London.<br />We attended Horse Guards Parade. Many tourists were perched on walls and so on with cameras.<br />The Police rather more forcefully than necessary ordered them down. Perhaps rightly but not that way. After the mounted troops had passed I spotted an inspector and told him that I thought his officers could have handled the matter rather better. First question he asked, probably because I addressed him as "inspector" was "are you in the job". Well I wasn't but was working as a consultant to a police force which is how I recognised his rank.<br />Funnily enough the simple "plebs" being ordered down never uttered a single swear word or insult. The inspector was politeness itself. I despair that things have so quickly deteriorated on all fronts.<br />Have a good Christmasbewickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02808667730361613052noreply@blogger.com
