[ThatVikRinA22]

ive just got into the police, was pleased as punch with myself - seriously - this will be my first ever proper career as i had kids young.

got a fitness test coming up, so am running 3 times a week.

so, its my second week in training, and i set off on my run. neightbour over the road is a curtain twitcher - knows everything everyone is doing.

so she clocked me in my running gear and asked me if i was trying to get fit

"yes" says i
"i got into the police, so im training for the fitness test"

she raises an eyebrow and goes

"oh?, im really surprised they let you in at your age"

im 37. she really pissed on my parade!

lol so am i though, i would have thought 37 was too old also. don't they retire at 50

well done though!

ignore!!

do you still have to do the beep test?/ i beat all the boys in my intake when we did it at Hendon!!!

i tell my dc's this all the time,but they aren't too impressed!

i told DH and he laughed...i laughed though gritted teeth when she said it.

there is no upper age limit....went for drugs test today (why does that make me feel guilty when i ve never bloody touched a drug in my life!!?) and have to say the other women did look a bit younger than me...am slightly paranoid now!

yep tiff its the bleep test, and dynamic push/pull...id better get doing press ups!

no upper age limit! (it would be discrimination you see) so go for it!

am i old??? i dont FEEL old...

Pah! you're a youngster, congratulations

The cheeky mare!

Congratulations!

thanks! i like to think with age comes wisdom!

congratulations! just try not to look too smug should you have reason to call on your neighbour in a professional capacity (and fingers crossed that you will!)

(ooh, I mean not for any truly awful reason, don't take that the wrong way)

congratulations.your neighbour could be your snout

hhaha! unfortunately ive got into a neighbouring force, which may be a blessing in disguise!

Well done on getting into the police, hope you really enjoy your new career. Your age will mean you bring experience and maturity to your job .

Mind you I am almost fifty, so you sound like a mere child to me. (police officers look so young these days emoticon)

LMAO at recruiting neighbour to be snout.

Congrats Vicar
