I don't think my boss would be very happy if he found out he was paying me to go sledging either. What's the difference? |

As a ".Org plummer" VT, you know that if you leave yourself wide open such as these guys have then expect complaints.
Yes its a bit of fun for the coppers, but they were on duty. The other side of things (speaking as a manager now) what would happen if one of them had been injured? I'm sure thames valley police H+S would have a hard time producing a risk assesment and method statement for using a riot shield as a sledge and be able to justify it. I know police hate it when idiots tell them "I pay your wages" but their wages do come from joe public the tax payer. I know its just a bunch of guys having a laugh in the snow, but if you are in a job where you are fairly high profile (wearing a viz vest with "police" written on it doesnt help) then you need to be leading from example. I can understand why people will complain about this. *Edit* It doesn't help when a lot of coppers don't exactly endear themselves to the public. Again, its the few that let the majority down. Speaking as a manager again now, If they worked for me, they would be looking for a new job. I don't pay my staff to play on my time. Last edited by speedplay; 14-01-10 at 05:43 PM. |

Depends on the sort of work, when we had nothing to do at fabricators we would sit drinking tea. When I was working with my mate who recovers cars we would drink tea and play cards waiting for a call.
No calls to attend? What they supposed to do, sit in van looking officious?

Its the same as some of us sitting on the org when we are supposed to be working.
Jeeeeese we all need to lighten up! Looked extremely fun, and it made the kids think more of the police in general, which is never a bad thing with some little scrotes. |
