*Crosses Fingers*

That my application to work in the Control Room of Spa Town Police is successful. And after wondering if crossed fingers wouldn't be enough, I took myself along to speak to somebody in the local station who was extremely helpful & also said that if the Control Room wasn't an option, then maybe go for a Contact Centre place & work my way up.

So, here's hoping!

Apart from that little bit of news, there's been a lot of other stuff going on. Some of it rubbish but a lot of it good.

When the internet access is permanent I might explain about the WHSmith incident....

In the meantime, it's a shame MetCountyMounty has (understandably) decided to leave the scene & I hope not too many others feel pressured to do the same.
For what it's worth, I never was a fan of The Times. It reminds me of a certain chinless wonder who thought it was the only paper worth reading. Then again, he also thought it acceptable to grab womens' crotches & not to refer to someone he saw as 'below' him by name, but by a click of the fingers or "You, come here".
His outer appearance was all very correct & proper but inside, he lacked depth & any sort of standards or decency. Very much like his chosen reading material in fact......
