Constable posts open up on Monday... 65 places, 7am - 7pm phonelines, closure at 1100 applications being sent out and closure at 7pm.

Erk.

Still thinking about it.

Von Smallhausen · 20-03-2010, 20:07

Do it.

Kitten · 20-03-2010, 20:51

What have you got to lose?

Psymonkee · 21-03-2010, 16:48

Do iiiit!

Very funny - 1100 applications only to be sent out today, 64 positions, telephone lines only (no going into recruitment office despite it being a building away from me) and constant engaged tones despite calling every second from 7am through to 12noon.

In the end I had the whole of CID ringing up on their mobiles for me trying to get through

I may or may not have an application heading my way. Still contemplating. Humm.

I wished I had a warrent card the other day when some nob did something like this to me. Two lane road. His side blocked with parked cars. He could clearly see me coming and had a gap he could have pulled into and waited while I passed (it was, after all, my right of way). However, he decided to drive up my side of the road in his white van then switch his engine off and get out when I refused to reverse back past the line of parked cars to let him through. Hurling abuse, fuming, etc. when it was him blocking my side of the road. In the end I (and the three people behind me) had to reverse as this guy refused to reverse back into the gap in the parked cars.

I really wished I was a copper (of had one with me) to flash the card and say "read the highway code, nob end"

I didn't call him a nob end when I did it. Complaints usually follow.

Turn off your own engine, get out of car and wait at the side of the road. Job done. Someone will call the police, and you're not the one breaking the law.

Yeah, I know, but I did have somewhere to be.... I just couldn't be bothered with the idiot... although I did think of getting a numberplate made up, borrowing a white van, and zipping through a few speed cams, just for fun, lol.
