You are going to be astonished when you read this thread!

I am astonished that I expected to be astonished in the first place, astonishing really when you see the thread starter.

YOu don't think it is slightly unusual that a copper is being used as a leaflet dropper? But thanks for the abuse, I don't recall ever crossing swords with you?

I bet it was one of those unpaid pretend officers. usually fat teenage girls or pint-sized men of 50 +.

Am I right?

I am astonished

I never fail to deliver when I make a promise ;)

Clockwork, no you are not. It was a real copper with a walkie talkie and everything. I thought it was another enquiry about a stabbing/burglary when he walked up my drive then he popped a leaflet through my door. Even if it's a CSO they get £25k, that is more than the council should be spending dropping leaflets when they could just pay the local free rag to stick the flyers in their for sod all.

LOL Evski if you find my post abusive you are in trouble
Though I will assume this time your trying to put me in my Plaice.

I wan't trying to put you anywhere, why plaice? I don't get your fish related pun?

Has this as ever on the ball government responsed to criticism that not enough Police are seen on the streets by making them wear fluorescent clobber?

If it was a CSO at least he was doing something semi useful.

It was delivered by a copper with an illuminious yellow backpack.

You would have thought they'd have given him a luminous one, wouldn't you? Poor bugger could get knocked down by car thieves who didn't see him coming. Tragic, imo

yes, delivering leflets can be dangerous...
