    Got mine confiscated at Lanzarote Airport, they were in my hand baggage.

    It was not the airline decision airport security removed them, chap in front of me was told to remove them from his bike box after he’d checked it in and it had been x-rayed.

    How are you gonna get your car over the border?

    Thought they wouldn’t be building walls, is that to keep them from us or the other way round?

    Is that Glasgow?

    wonder what you’ll do when you leave work and realise your house has been broken into and several expensive items have been stolen.

    Report it to the police just so’s you can get a crime reference number which you’ll need to claim on your insurance.

    I doubt most folk would really expect much else tbh. Most people I know who’ve bin burgled, the police jolly well have not even sent a SOCCO down to take fingerprints, and basically said ‘there’s not much we can do, other than give you a crime reference number for your insurance claim’. Which is all they’ve done when I’ve had a bike nicked.

    I’m not expecting them to perform miracles, and I appreciate how difficult their jobs are much of the time, but public confidence in the police is at a real low, and it ain’t helped by them killing innocent people, being involved in ‘phone hacking scandals, bashing people exercising their democratic right to protest (not to mention using agents provocateurs to deliberately stir up trouble), and using false names when giving evidence under oath in court….

    And lots of other bad things.

    As for ‘respect’; it’s earned. Putting on a uniform and a badge does not in any way automatically qualify you for such. You need to do something to gain it first.

    Crumbs i find myself agreeing with something Padded Bra has typed, that’s at bit worrying sure he’ll type something i don’t agree with soonish 😕

    Do Police Officers when asked what there PC number is are they legally required to do so?

    Yes, though in asking this question you automatically fail the attitude test.

    Generally, if asked my number by a person I was speaking to, I would give it out to the person – reality is that its quite often an empty threat from a smart arse … hence the fail of the attitude test so to speak.

    Regarding wearing them: There is a set on my black body armour and a set on my yellow jacket. They are always left on. If not, its by accident, not by choice. Contrary to reported opinion, colleagues are decent folks and point out if you’re missing them on your shoulders ( thats if they haven’t turned them upside down that is ) As to whether its a legal requirement, TJ probably is right regarding it being policy

    I wouldn’t have asked for his number therefore i wouldn’t have failed your test, however the PC involved failed my test(the bell end test) for his attitude alas he was wearing a Floro jacket with no visible numbers.

    If she has crossed the white line to hit you it’s on her, she has straddled the line to hit you.

    At least if you work you can pick up from the post office with parcel force.

    I hate delivery companies that only deliver between 10 and 4 monday to Friday and have an office in the back end of beyond open equally extensive hours. I will request Royal Fail/Parcel Farce for purely this reason. I’ve returned 4 or 5 parcels now because companies weren’t able to deliver them and the depot was a 90 minute round trip.

    Please because I ____race___ and had an accident on the road which caused me to break my wrist. I landed in a ditch. Please can you help me as I’m only 12 years old, this also means my helmet size will probably be 55cm.

    It at the operators discretion if you tell them you have them in your hold luggage.

    Mine were removed from baggage by airport security (Lanzarote), so maybe not down to individual airline.

    Sorry, I’ve had this conversation with you before. What I think or don’t think is totally irrelevant to you as you don’t come here to learn or debate but to preach and as such there is very little point in bothering to type it.

    You’re right, but then you already knew this to be true but i thought i point it out anyway lol

    How utterly mature and reasonable.

    Are you sure you’re in the right place?

    Reasonable is not going to happen even whilst the property was being renovated prior to being habitated he’d called the Enviromental Health? round complaining about works being carried out during normal working hours.

    This will go Nuclear Meltdown lol

    Just done this for Lanzarote used Monarch £18.75 each way upto 20kilo thereafter surcharge about £10 per Kilo although chap in front of me got away for free with 26 kilo.

    Don’t do as some did and put CO2 canisters in the bike bag or anywhere else it won’t be allowed on the plane.
