Ha ha.



It was largely because I was attacked, hospitalised and had my bicycle

damaged that I hold the view that the police are a largely useless

rabble. Of course, the incident when my laptop was stolen and they

wouldn't do anything either also contributed.



Perhaps if they _were_ any use in that sort of a situation then they'd

be held in higher regard.



In my experience, it's only the people who've had no dealings with the

police that hold positive views of them. Those who've actually dealt

with them (let alone tried to rely on them) hold a fairly uniform

opinion.

My son was mugged at about 2 in the morning, I called the police & the ambulance, the police arrived in about ten minuites,drove him around the area to see if they could find the person who did it to no avail. They then tirned up the next morning for a statement, and then obtained the video from the bus he had got off of, from that video they identified the culprit & arrested him later that day.

I think they did a good job.

All quiet as expected....

Should I mention that the fact that I was on holiday has no bearing on
my non-response to your asinine trivia?

Nope. *Just answer the question now you are back.

Certainly. Yes I have stopped beating my wife yet.


Hope Margate was OK.

I couldn't fault their Best Western Hotel.

No different to what it is now.

Would you refuse their help in apprehending the culprit?

Of course not.

So you are a complete hypocrite.



Do you complain the price of petrol is too high ?

Do you still buy it ?

Do you own a dictionary ?

Strange how psycholists have trouble identifying hotels isn't it?

Of course there isn't a Best Western in Margate - the nearest is the
Dover Marina Hotel in Dover.

You remember that surely? One of your chums claimed to have ridden past
it 6 times - without apparently noticing that it hadn't been called the
Churchill for many years.

There is a Best Western in Marks Tey. I know, because I phoned to see
if a certain person was there. He was confused as well, couldn't recall
if he came from Harwich or Weston, after visiting his parents in either
London or Ireland.

Dave - Cyclists VOR. "Many people barely recognise the bicycle as a
legitimate mode of transport; it is either a toy for children or a
vehicle fit only for the poor and/or strange," Dave Horton, of Lancaster
University, wrote in an interim assessment of the Understanding Walking
and Cycling study. "For them, cycling is a bit embarrassing, they fail
to see its purpose, and have no interest in integrating it into their
lives, certainly on a regular basis."

Oh, that's why I couldn't fault it! Silly me.
