In the news

These so called 'mates' obviously weren't really you friends then. How many of them are you still in touch with? I'm seriously thinking about joining the specials here in London, you get full police training full powers of arrest but no pay (free transport throughout the city plus some other perks I can't remember), just spend 16 hours per month (2 shifts) working.

It would be a great way to help support my community (I can choose to work here in Southwark). I'd get greater insight and have more power over bike theft (something that frustrates me enormously). And I'd actually be doing something instead of being 1 of 1001 whingers that moan about 'the state of things today' but are unwilling to do anything about it.

Sadly still a few of them. You know what, I am not a police materials anyway. I, however, want to be a paramedic one day. I like helping people that way more, but first I have to learn how to drive and get over my OCD with cleanliness, don't like dealing with mess at all.

PS. Alex, is your mother OK?
