Hi Will
Gosh! You are unlucky!
Jim's father (i he was pinged by Gatso) will need to write and explain to Scamship should he get ticket. More than probable the ticket will be cancelled on compassionate grounds given detail of your post. Not quite so inhumane!
Know for fact this has been case before!
About our understaffing (the Wild cousin has already had similar conversation with a BiB called "gone" on PH
She really gets under his and my skin!
I am one of 3 BiBs in this family - and the entire bunch of them bend my ear
all the time!
I can never do right for doing wrong!)
Truth is - we are very much understaffed. We are directed towards politically hot potatoes and very much pawn of current government whims - which I know will not placate you in any way
They keep promising to recruit more staff - and in fairness my patch does see some of them - but others do not!
The Gatso was supposed to free us to do other police work - but masses of paperwork and bureacracy - nightmare!
You will think I am making excuses - but there will never be enough police officers to combat the ever-increasing number of criminals. It is a very sad fact of life! But hey - get enough ear bashing from the Mad One and the rest of the family (BiBs apart
)
One member of the family (another Swiss first cousin) is A&E in London area. He confirms that demands on paramedics and ambulances a peak times can compromise health quite detrimentally. Understaffing is serious - but that is down to government not delivering its promises - and we all know what we can do about that - don't we?
