  1. Police run weigh bridge stops all the time and secondly, if you crash and don't have the right license then no insurance payout and many many points on your license! Not worth the risk as a trailer test isn't that expensive and quite informative if you've never towed before.
  2. I'd go L200 Browning edition of you do actually go off road.
  3. I go when I need to. After all I pay my taxes and if they can get me better again quicker than I can on my own then why not :-) plus the missus wouldn't put up with me moaning If was ill!!
  4. Bit late now but I was going to suggest getting a mechanic to give it a once over before you buy. There are various companies that will inspect and give you a report.
  5. CSJ for my 2. Although they aren't working spaniels and just pets it has the best fat and protein content.
  6. A few days later North Korea lost virtually all Internet access. Usa didn't comment on the revenge hack but it's a fair bet they took it out. I doubt sony were involved for the sake of film publicity but they've made the best out of a bad situation. That was until their severs went down on Xmas day!
  7. Arrived today and looks even better than in the photos. Many thanks.
  8. If it's still for sale I'll take it.
  9. To say we have tried for years with treatment and drugs isn't correct. We've tried for a couple of decades and only with convicted offenders. Don't get me wrong, I'd happily support the death penalty for those convicted but we need to spend more money and time on treatment for those that want to change how they are and protect as many children as we can. Since we don't live in a minority report world if we don't know who these people are how can we protect our children?
  10. I thought it was a very interesting programme. You have to remember the difference between a peadopfile and someone who goes on to act and becomes a sex offender. Eddie didn't want to be the way he was and clearly we haven't invested much in the way of treatment. Rather than just locking people up and releasing them again with no treatment I agree we should be looking at ways to treat them. It would seem to be a fault with how their brains are wired but why can't we look at fixing this. It sounds like prevention would save more children than letting them live in the shadows until they offend.
  11. So they can cash it and deny the app? I've always read they only cash once they are prepared to issue it.
  12. Hello, I was just wondering if someone could give me some advice since it the weekend and the FEO will we off work until Monday. I've applied for my SGC with Lancashire Comstabulary and got a letter confirming they had received it and told me who the FEO would be. I saw my referee yesterday and just asked her if they had made contact. She said they hadn't but today I noticed they have cashed my £50 cheque. I'm not having a fun kept at my house and it will go to my fathers address (who is also applying). If they have cashed the cheque does that mean my application has been granted?
  13. Not unless I planned to sit there with it all the time and even until I'd finished and it had cooled down.
  14. 2 hedgehogs, 9 hamsters, 2 cats, 2 spaniels, 3 rabbits and no free time!
  15. The rolex Milgauss is fake as I have the same one. You wouldn't be able to see the green glass as clear from that angle on a genuine one. I think the brietling is real as it looks the same as my genuine one. Very hard to tell though.
  16. I don't think there is a set list of discounts and it varies in different areas. For example, Some McD's give a free coffee if you're in uniform and some don't. People seem to forget that cops need to eat as well and we can't sit in a nice warm office with the paper whilst we do. Officially I'm allowed 45 mins to eat but MUST still respond to emergency calls. My radio goes off all the time so on some shift rotations I'm lucky if i park up on a street and eat in 5 mins. For this reason some companies do encourage Officers to eat at their place. Asda allow us to use their staff canteen as the same price their staff pay. Which works out better.... Me having breakfast at the station or parking a marked car outside asda whilst I eat and therefore no crime? We don't get bonuses, shares, corporate days or any other perks so at least let us have a few quid of some food :-) And technically speaking all discounts and gifts should be logged in a register and declared. This is to make sure that the offer of 50% off a pizza doesn't come with any other 'conditions'!!
  17. October is always busy for servicing because sept/Oct is when most people buy a new car. That means there is a huge jump in the number of cars that need an annual service (although some makes like bmw now have conditional based servicing).
  18. You need an online connection when you first set it up but after that you never need to connect again if you don't want to.
  19. Just remember that most FAO's aren't even Police Officers anymore. All of Lancashires are civilian staff.
  20. Go with coopers. Much better on road than the Maxxis and quieter at speed. They both seem the same off road although I don't do anything too extreme in my L200.
  21. Changing the tyres wouldn't count as a modification (even if it did just ring up and tell your insurance company). I'm not aware of the steel insert as the bmw wheels are just normal ones and the tyres have extra stiff walls which makes for the bad ride quality.
  22. I actually thought it was a good race. Much more interesting than F1 that has about as much scope for overtakes as a McDonalds drive-thru. No where near as good as BTCC but it will help push the tech forward. Crazy driving by Prost but it made it more entertaining for the viewers. I'm not saying I agree with it but the bosses behind the sport must have cheered when they saw that at the end!
  23. I used http://www.gateway2lease.com when I leased my car. Pricing for the special offers was very good and generally just add vat for personal lease prices. The only issue I found was that I soon racked up the miles and had to pay extra when I returned it.
