What could go wrong?

In my experience BTP do even less than the royal parks police. They know probably less law than the average police dog and they certainly couldn't investigate themselves out of a wet paper bag. As an response to your memory loss it is Section 2(1) The Ways and Means Act 1847.

Let us look at this again. You're correct.

That fucking cap annoys me almost as much as the UK filth wearing two tone union flags with the thin blue line. It's all a bit "Stolen Valour" to me.
That's regardless of the erroneous apostrophe.

One 2003 R1150GSA, a 1980 R100RS and soon to be a 1982 R100RS. I have no room left.

I bought this at 1900hrs this evening. An October 1982 BMW R100RS with all the spares it needs. It hasn't been on the road for 20 years. So a winter project which needs stripping down and fully sorting. I'll collect it this week and more pics etc.

I've given it a little tickle on the stone while at work (doing fuck all) this evening. So it is usable just not purty. I can live with it.

There's a huntin', fishin' and shootin' shop in Eton High Street which is a Victorinox dealer. I'll see if they'll do the same forms.

but my wrist has certainly not had a hard life.

I've consistently worn lace-up boots since 1982 and have a very high instep. The specialist said I wouldn't be able to get my foot in a boot with the orthotics I would need to use. I did have gel heel insert for a while but they seemed to make it worse. Standing with the balls of my feet on the stairs and letting my heels go as low as I could seemed to help. Every step or kerb stone I was by and I was stretching the achilles.

Welcome to the plantar fasciitis gang. I suffered with this for about 4 years from 2005 and it's also called "policeman's heel". It would become tolerable until the annual fitness test shuttle run would fuck it up again. I haven't noticed it since 2010 but now the other foot is suffering with it. Back in 05 I went to see, who I was told was "the expert" and he said do the exercises and live it. There was an operation for it but he said the outcome is not always better.

I've got some stones. I'll just make it look and feel better and leave it the shape it is but sharp. Thanks.

SAK question. I have an Officier Suisse knife which was horribly mutilated by my late FIL (58mm blade). I'm not really the sentimental type but I would like to have it returned to good as new condition. I've printed the form to send it to Northampton for repair but was wondering if anyone "on here" would or could do it for me? I remember a long time ago there was talk of swapping components and scales about or did I imagine it?
I could buy a secondhand one for about £20 but that defeats the object a bit.

It doesn’t seem to be covered neatly by any legislation.

It does, the blade locks so that is a no-no in the UK. The pivot points will get all sticky from the juice of the fruit you're cutting and it only looks good if you're wearing it, fully accessible to everyone, on a tac vest.

It is precisely 19°C where this poor waif is sleeping and exactly how I like it in trousers and a t-shirt. He keeps trying to climb inside me for warmth, even with his woolly pully on. He's a limpet.

I always assumed the covers were to go over your outdoor shoes so that you don't spread dog shit and mud where people are in bare feet.

Two days ago I had covid in the right shoulder and flu in the left. I've now got rock hard deltoids when totally at rest and a bit achy.

Do you mean ambivalent?

That moment when you take a sip from your Air Up bottle and think "They don't make stilton pods!" I need to properly wash out my water bottle more often.

As Tony the tiger says "They're great!" I took mine in 2016.

It has some advantages in that you can't see the monster rogue hairs in your eyebrows or sprouting from the tops of your ears.

There used to be a retirement ceiling of 55 years, for constables and sergeants, which also would likely coincide with 30 yrs service and the end of the pension, with lump sum. Senior ranks could always retire later. Then they withdrew the 55 yr age limit and made all new recruits buy their own pensions. Then the career cop was not handcuffed to the job and could take his measley private pension to any new job but it also meant old cops could carry on, theoretically until they dropped of old age. If you're fit for the role, like SEG or firearms then you have 67 yr old men tooling around on blues and twos.

I wouldn't know this bike cop but if he's MetPol SEG, Special Escort Group, then he's quite likely a very skilled rider and possibly an authorised firearms officer. In which case he's doing annual AFO fitness tests too so not a doddery old fucker. I've been involved in similar escorts and chases and the public usually see the first plod vehicle but don't expect a second or third. It's a high risk job for all concerned but it does often beg the question why all that just to cut a ribbon on a shopping centre?
When the non-perspiring one was trade envoy and was going somewhere in any official capacity he went with a posse of SEG. In the good old days of roadside bombs and mortars you needed to get through pinch points quickly but I'd say they need to complete another risk assessment as to the safety of escorts in built up areas. They don't seem necessary nowadays.

It definitely worked.😁
