Thats the skill of being a good manager, know when to join in with the fun, but knowing when to draw the line, so you're troops know what you're happy with them doing and what you're not.

I'm usually happy so long as the work gets done, but some people still want their cake and eat it.

I would have rollocked the one who posted it the most - just plain daft

Pah. DarylB took all yesterday off to go sledging. Called the office to say he couldnt get the car off the drive. A likely story;)

But a police officer cannot take off their uniform at any point in the duration of their shift. We need to be able to respond if there is an emergency situation so how can you possibly say they were clearly on work time??? How do you know it wasn't used as part of their refreshment time?

I don't, and you don't.

You are making presumptions.

Yes, perhaps it was a dumbass idea but come on folks, lighten up a bit!

They should have held up a sign or done a voice over saying this was done in our tea break and no riot shield was hurt during the making of this movie :p

So as a police officer,when you take a refreshment break, are you still effectivly being paid and on call?

And anyway, couple of extra seconds to run(:-P) back to the van isn't likely to take any longer than paying for coffee/donuts. So it's not like emergency response times would be affected :-D
