Stay safe Dave, GP, Kapri, and others who I may have failed to mention but in our thoughts nonetheless
Title: Re: Hope our London buddies are safe in the riots Post by: davethebirdman on August 09, 2011, 09:52:50 am Thanks Chaps... Have had to dig my uniform out. Haven't worn it for more than three years. Sitting in my office now waiting for deployment. Fair to say worst disorder in living memory and has stretched the emergency resources like nothing has ever done (including terrorist attacks). Some are likening it to the blitz.... Would much rather be talking about coin op....

Title: Re: Hope our London buddies are safe in the riots Post by: loman4ec on August 09, 2011, 06:02:31 pm Oh Wow Dave! I didn't know it was that bad. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. Does the Uk have a national Service type system that everyone is basically in reserve status? Please stay safe.
Title: Re: Hope our London buddies are safe in the riots Post by: aspbear on August 09, 2011, 06:28:55 pm Dave, I hope that you, your family and the other officers stay safe. If I remember right your wife is an officer also so keep each other safe and maybe the idiots will find justice....
