[Howsie]

But not their job.

 

[REDSAW]

think its become a civil matter.

if the woman complains about the driver then he will get an appointment with them.

i did that once lol.

 

[Billy Bob Bob]

i dont get it how is driving into another car on purpose,backed up by witnesses a civil matter?

 

[REDSAW]

no one got hurt and no public damage..
left to sort out by personal insurance unless some one complains of dangerous driving!!!!

 

[Kyle87]

Good old punch in the face is the way to deal with it. Cops will be on ya like a rash then though

Ha ha working doors i had to give statement about this fight broke out ! First think he said to me when i walked into interview was "did you hit any of them ?" I replied yer i did ! He just said "thats fine we will leave those bits out, i prefer it when you lads sort it out and give them a slap and i just come and scoop them off the pavement" thats an old school police officer their !

The bizzies don't need to get involved with a traffic accident unless their assisstance is requested by one of those involved or there's damage to public property - such as a lampost.

you get a bill in the post for damaging those few weeks later

we had 3 boilers and bathrooms nicked of a job a hundred yards from croyden nick so walked in to report it and the copper on the desk asked us what we expected him to do about it ?

This all reminds me of the joke/story of the little old lady who phones the cops to say somebody is in the shed/garage and is told they'll get somebody there in a couple of hours. She hangs up and says it alright now as she'd shot them. In two minutes the cops were there 🙂 🙂

I knew 3 lads who died after their car hit a lampost and the driver's mother got the bill from the council a few weeks later. Not sure what the deal was with it as it wasn't her who did the damage.

One of my mates is an ex copper, did his 30 years and now works for the ambulances on patient transfer. Says that years ago he loved his job but couldn't wait to get out at the end. He said the job was unrecognisable, too much paperwork.

My brother-in-law has just spent a few million on new ambulances (£170,000 each) for the firm he's with. He says the paramedic/ambulance driver courses they run only take a few days and open to anyone. I didn't realise the ambulance service was outsourced/private.
Only had a short conversation with him about it so not clear with the full details.

I don't really know all the ins and outs, but he's employed by the same company that employ the paramedics. He says that they get all the dross as the outsourced/private companies do all the good runs. But he enjoys it.

Sounds like a good job. Just checked his Linkedin profile but he hasn't updated it with his latest position but it's an American firm.

 

[SimonG]

He's only contracted for 30 hours a week to top up his police pension, but often works 40 to 50 hours a week.

Does he do that overtime voluntarily or is it forced on him?

Paramedics are just first aiders and drivers ! You might get one technician onboard like
