    Crush83, now THAT is funny. RAF security 😉 Although I’ve also been pinged for the olympics. Not bloody likely, I need to get downgraded and fast!

    I guess that having to get police officers from oop north with all of their overtime payments, travel expenses and accommodation partially explains why the budget has risen from £2.4bn at the start to £9.3bn in 2007 and now looks like it will end up costing the British taxpayer £9.2bn! 😉

    Oh well, have a lovely time 🙂

    My sister’s a volunteer helping out as a trilingual interpreter – flash git. Not sure where, gymnastics I think. I constantly whinge to her that the Olympics is a lot of unnecessary fuss and a complete waste of money. I don’t think she agrees.

    Are you any fitter looking than the bunch of pie-munchers they have flooded the job with at the moment? Mostly ‘Specials’ I presume, but half of them don’t look like they could run a bath, let alone run after a baddie.

    Looks like the “boys (and girls) in blue” could be facing annual fitness tests quite
    soon and that would help catch the baddies!

    It is a fact that members of the public trust and have more confidence in a fat policeman.

    Specially if they also laugh a lot.

    And have big rosy cheeks.

    You’re right ernie – you should hear some of the things people tell me 🙂

    We’re doing the public transport between venues, car parks and accommodation etc.
    I think we’ve got about 900 bus drivers going all together. There was supposed to be a call for maintenance staff as well, but I haven’t heard anything yet.

    I’m a thin fit policeman
    And the govt have shafted us yet again with overtime payments
    So the rise in the cost of the Olympics is not down to police overtime
