omg the pretendy one who just came her was a child
I have asked for the "real" police to sort the fuckers up the road out, so they send me a pretendy policeman who looks as young as my son.
still he was nice.

Maybe its just cos your getting old

LOL, this is what DP hates.
He is 24, and is sure people will think he is too young.

What's a 'pretendy' policeman? A PCSO?

2shoes · 28/08/2008 15:35

community police.
I think I need a real one.
one who looks like he has left school.
I need it all to stop

24 is hardly young young

My 18 year old friend (this was years ago) tried to join the police and was told to "get some life experience" first, she did 3 years as an 18-30's club rep. At 21 she eventually joined, I would have thought she would have gained more life experience than most people

I was a policer officer at 22.

Goodness No! Do I want to see a fit, good-looking, cheerful, helpful, young, handsome policeman or some fat, grouchy, I-have-been-in-this-job-for-far-too-long policeman?

Older policemen always seem to be in a foul mood. When was the last time you saw a happy old policeman? Do they even exist?

Count your blessings! Perhaps he'll become a 'real' policeman some day.

You should see some of the doctors we get in here! Surely they'er not old enough to be seeing ladybits n stuff

DH was 19 1/2 when he started all those years ago.

He's 49 on Sunday and retires next year.

unknownrebelbang · 29/08/2008 13:58

Oh, and he's still fairly fit, good-looking, cheerful, helpful, and handsome...
