Quite interesting and amusing podcast by two former Nottinghamshire Constabulary officers. Both joined later in life. It is available on Spotify, which is free.

Lot of serious stuff at the moment, but a bit of light relief needed I think... lower the blood pressure! So go on then, give us your stories, funny, inappropriate, irresponsible, slightly outrageous, police or non-police. Locker room stuff only.

(Not sure where to post, pls move). I've enjoyed my years on policespecials/community, but am now de-activating/retiring my account, as it's positives don't outweigh the time I've spent on it. There have been some good debates, arguments and discussions (sorry if any of you are 'left hanging'), especially from: @Radman + @Zulu 22 + @Father Jack @SimonT + @Beaker @blakey @Whitehall Hack and a few more, and of course @Fedster and the bosses. I'm not a policeman or volunteer, but have always been interested and this forum has given me a little bit more insight than the few men I've met in person and Wikipedia! If I ever ge…

So what music do you listen appropriate to your mood? Post here with what mood and that the music is, preferably with a video/recording of the piece. I'll give you some examples. Getting ready to go out for a night out on the town I may just play something like this whilst getting ready: Or this Depending on if I'm out for beers and laughs or out for beers and dancing. If I'm wanting relaxing and maybe to drift off to sleep I might play something like this: So what do you listen to, why and when?

Duke and Duchess of Sussex - what's the plan?
by Wilts20 +- 1 follower

Lots of news (underneath COVID) regarding the recent exit of the Duke and Duchess and subsequent comments, press problems etc. What's their plan? HRH seems fairly unhappy with the current progress and with Meghan now going at the press over here (first round lost), it doesn't seem to be turning out too well. The confusion over stepping back, but still supporting the boss, but without any military appointments & other roles etc ... all seems very odd. Personally, I hope that HRH gets to where he feels is right, he's served the nation, however I don't think many really see North America as that place. With the Duchess, I think she's got a lot to learn ab…

Slightly too much "look at me" activity?

Not sure about other's views, but in more recent weeks, there seems to be a tendency for people (all types) behaving in the 'seeing to be good/heroic/selfless/ etc' manner ... thinking mainly of the weekly clapping which in some places involves large (or otherwise) gatherings of people in public, often lots of noise and mass publication. The most publicised seems to be the Westminster Bridge in which many gathered, with local police, EMS, et al seemed to gather to applaud health workers - against advice, instructions and pleading from HMG and said health workers. Just find it odd that whilst HMG is relying mostly on people's conscience and compliance with current res…

This is the thread for getting that annoying item off your chest after a long day or night ... slightly comical it can be. First for me: people with a general lack of awareness about the world around them (particularly muppets who stop at filling stations and leave their damn car at the pump whilst chatting and buying coffee in the shop...) this is is in locker room!
