No details yet. He says he will post about it at length tomorrow and it will be worth the wait. So this is just a placemarker for the moment.

I vow never again to snigger at MN threads where the OP says that: she/he never opens the front door to unexpected callers.

Also, enough of the battenburgs please, I'm triggered as I keep thinking about cop car livery.

I didn’t mean to spark a diplomatic incident. By caramel bars I took that to mean wafers. They’re the bar shaped things that have caramel in them?

As for Snowballs, I don’t think I’ve tried them. I saw them in the farm shop a while back but since I’d already spent eleventy billion pounds on a jar of sauce and some fruit juice, I desisted from adding to the bill.

Snowballs are the queen of confection. And if you avoid them all the more for me (and boily)

You can have my half snowballs too. Enjoy.

Only via PND which not all officers have access to directly. As I understand it, soke officers will have to go to someone to check it for them (I could be out of date on this).

One of the many issues with both PND and PNC for cross-force working is that each force will have their own codes against which to register offences, intelligence etc. As of about three years ago, trying to obtain standardised data at a national level was, err, challenging. So unless individual officers were extremely curious, persistent and had time on their hands, it would be entirely possible for a complete picture not to be obtained.

Back to the rozzers. My experience of them is that some are complete dick wits and i have no idea how they got through training.

Lack of critical analysis and laziness seems to be the combo for some.

My experience suggests that a lot of them only joined up for the bullying

Can't stand Tunnock's anything.

There's controversial for you.

I’m not that keen either but didn’t like to say.
I like Ritter marzipan chocolate bars, but not marzipan generally.

I know it's heresy.

But I said what I said 🤷‍♀️

DontStopMe · 04/08/2026 19:57

Tunnocks do Caramel Logs as well as Caramel Wafers. I guess Caramel Bars could cover both of these, but I've never heard that used before.

Battering on his door at 2 in the morning to arrest him over tweets! As he said if it was someone less fortified...

Incidentally while I was reading the Wings article, someone tapped on my door! Nearly wet myself 😃

I was interrupted by the actual police knocking on my door!

Thankfully the police where I live spend their time doing their job properly and were investigating an actual crime and wondered if they could they check my cctv whilst the forensics team did their stuff at the scene of the crime.

For anyone wondering.. I didn't have the actual incident caught on camera, but if the forensic people find anything useful they now have the faces of the only individuals in the area acting rather suspiciously between 1 and 5 am!

LizzieSiddal · 04/08/2026 20:04

This is so pathetic. Why is his happening in the UK in 2026?! It’s nonsensical.
Could Wings complain to the police for harassment by them and by the dangerous man.

I once got a phone call from the police at nearly midnight, nearly had a heart attack as I thought something terrible must have happened.

Turns out it was a routine follow up to something mundane and when I asked why they were calling me at this ungodly hour, they replied “Because this is when I’m on shift!”

It had clearly not occurred to him that IT WAS THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT.

Which might explain why they end up looking such prats in the face of vindictive. malicious complainers.It really does nothing for their reputation that they spend so much time on DEI nonsense when they haven't managed a set of systems that communicate across the country.

It's very depressing as we need to be able to respect them, yet they beclown themselves with all this.

Mine was John Lewis, they thought the neighbours were out. If it had been the Fuzz I'd have been legging it out the back door.

That's bonkers really, isn't it? Who dreamt that daft idea up?

I've just answered the door AGAIN to the police. Different shift, different crime but she'd heard I had a Ring doorbell!

ETA it is not usually like this in my street

Honest.

It IS bonkers, but then again, they could just have googled Lynsay Watson, and that would have given them plenty of background.

My neighbour is now convinced, after the second lot of Police at his and mine that the rest of the street is going to think he's murdered his wife as no one has seen her for weeks!

ProtectedlyInsufferable · 04/08/2026 20:33

The Telegraph says that the THE journalist who was investigating Prof Jason Arday re suspected plagiarism was interviewed for alleged harassment. So they are being weaponised by all sorts

Shedmistress · 04/08/2026 20:37

I wonder if they will soon be knocking on the doors of data centres when they arrest AI for confirming FACTS and FIGURES?

I'm calling double bluff. Check the patio!

Luckily I actually know exactly where his wife is, she told me where she was going! Didn't stop me very loudly shouting after him as he left mine "Now the police are gone do you want this stuff you stored in my shed back or do you want to leave it a bit longer?"

Although I suppose he could have done away with her in the very brief window of opportunity

Because that wouldn't have aroused their suspicion at all.

"Suspect legging it out the back, Sarge. RELEASE THE HOUNDS!"
