Might they have been there with their grandchildren given that it's school holidays and the parents were working?

Wallace and Torode and all the other low level "celebs" that think are above reproach and can behave as the like just because they're on TV.

It's genuinely a tough job. Most of the carers I came across when I was working were dedicated and their role was vital to their clients. Despite the time pressures they were under, many went over and above for the people they cared for. She deserves a good pension and a medal. I doubt she got either.

Did he leave before the end?

It's taken me so long to sort out the drivel and negativity of so many posters that I've forgotten what I wanted to say... Oh yeah. No matter what the situation is or what the positive potential might be, there's always going to be naysayers and I think most of us expect nothing more from them. They're regular pessimistic critics of anything good that might happen. It seems to me that these types could be shagging Rachel Riley and still not be happy.

Wasn't MoN also a bit underwhelming at the start? Give the guy a chance.

Jaws is a shite film. The script is crap. The acting is rubbish. The only thing decent and unique at the time was the rubber "shark" . The music soundtrack became iconic, but there's nothing else good about it.

Surely the CEO gets a final look at anything major that the board proposes?

Is this Nick who runs the flight deck simulator at Wolvey?

DV incidents are notoriously difficult to deal with. Most times the victim doesn't want to take the matter further. I've been to so many where we we had the police involved as well. Sadly the victim just doesn't want to move to a hostel or a hotel room as their home is where there feel most secure despite the violence. I can't imagine giving up almost everything you have to go somewhere where you have virtually nothing. It must be a terrifying choice.

Sadly that is not an uncommon result. That's another reason why policing is so difficult. Every single action has to be correct and all t's crossed and i's dotted.
-
On the plus side, our police don't usually summarily put to death someone who is a "perceived" threat, on the street.
-
I don't recall anyone suggesting "what they would have done". And if they did, why is it a red herring? It wouldn't be distracting from anything about this incident or people's views on it. If you're referring to my post earlier, I challenged the poster to say what they would have done in that situation. They didn't respond.
-
So wearing a distinctive police uniform, carrying a weapon and taser whilst chasing down and grappling with the defendants didn't identify them as police? AFAIK the police shout out their presence when they are entering a property to use the element of surprise, disorientate and subdue the occupants involved, not when they're trying to suppress a violent, public incident. Ridiculous attempt by the defence to deflect.
-
This. And some models with rear indicators so low down that they cant be seen if you're not immediately behind them.
-
And what would you have done in that situation? I was an act of self defence, and it's not "people", it's one person who the officer had to deal with in a extremely volatile and stressful event where a female officer got punched to the floor and the attempt to grab the officers gun. Would you be saying the same if the guy had succeeded and then shot at the police? I know who's side I'm on.

We had an actual forge in the metalwork classroom where we would learn how to heat metal and then hammer it into various shapes. Also planishing metal bowls was another thing we did.

We had these at Gateway Grammar School. I've still got a wooden box with a hinged lid and lined with felt that I made for my late dad to keep his LP records in and a small wooden box for my late mum to put her trinkets in. As well as some "sculptures" we had to design and make in metalwork class. These were the classes I enjoyed the most. Forget maths and English.

Gone but not forgotten and certainly not the death list

I just remember him as a nasty, vindictive politician, just as nasty and vindictive as Thatcher. "On yer bike". No remorse from me. -
So there's no point in swerving to hit the feckers, then? Damn! They've infested our guttering, the patio, the conservatory roof and the solar panels with their shit. The constant calling noise (that isn't even attractive or tuneful) from dawn to dusk. I hate the ****ing things. I mean, HATE!!!!!

I think Evri must do drive-by deliveries.

Pubs and bars etc are profiteering if they sell non alcohol products at the same price as alcohol drinks. ABV % is taxable and the higher the percentage the more it costs to buy. Price matching 0 % with 4.5% or above should be illegal.
