Fair Pay


“I wanted to remain optimistic but sadly the Home Office and Treasury want to bully the police service into taking a real term pay cut and impose less than they are paying themselves.”


Jan Berry, chairman of the Police Federation of England and Wales, and chairman of the Staff Side of the Police Negotiating Board

With the new anti-smoking laws all in place and everybody now numb to seeing the horrible no smoking sign defacing public buildings and the ilk , I for one as a non smoker want to be allowed to take my prisoners ( sorry Detainees ) out on the ramp at police stations to have the evil "fag"

I also want to hear from fellow officers any stories they have about anti smoking enforcement...

Been away

I had a nice little break away from it all, as I had a few rest days owed to me and it is best use them up before they get cancelled for some such nonsense as policing or work.

I have another Polly tunnel up and the rest of the lettuce and carrots are now planted out.



Still a lot to do in the damp weather been having but it keeps the criminals inside :)

A river wander

While on a spare few moments between shifts, I took a walk along the river and realised I had not taken any photos of the landscape of London since I moved over.

Moved to Undercover

Well the lettuce has , not me !

I had a few hours to myself this morning as I could not sleep, and the early morning sunshine was to much to ignore.

I have relocated the young lettuce to outside now to harden off and grow to full bloom, I think it will take about 40 days before they are ready to harvest !

I have enough space for another Polly tunnel for the carrots which I will be planting at the weekend

The view from inside the tunnel already shows that they have taken to the early morning transplant and condensation from the morning sun is already evident.

Psstt... Anyone want some lettuce in late September ?
