RE: OPEN ALL HOURS - 67

I don't like the police having guns but the reality is the public have them these days so what is the answer?

Morning Lyn and all.

Morning all,

The only difference arming our police would make is when the police actually stumble across an armed crime that is actually happening. In all other circumstances an armed response unit can reach a crime scene just as quickly as the local plod. Or do people think that having armed police on our streets will frighten the ordinary criminal into line? In my opinion all it will do is encourage more criminals to arm themselves.

Hey Volty & SB

How much did you get for the lead off St Edburgha's roof. Is that why you two were down the club last week, drinking your ill gotten gains?

Phil

2nd good morning,
Stopped for a coffee break, have to meet client at 2.30.
Been raining here since 4 am.

Hi John

You haven't got time for coffee, anyway I thought you were working in a pub I hope you have got a tot of rum in it. It's nice and sunny here at the moment but its not expected to last.

Phil

I have a sudden image (re-post 6141) of battering Betty bouncing around the forum with big ears and a bushy tail

Phil, I will be working in a pub for 3 weeks if I get the job.
No rum , can't go to meet Emma smelling of drink, very mild here in spite of rain.
Guy that was shot was wanted for a number of armed robberies in the last few months, and police obviously knew where they could find him, good riddance I say.

John

Lets reel back a bit, who Emma? , is this the barmaid at the Westbourne who you claimed "was only a friend" when I last enquired.

Phil

Phil, your devious mind is working overtime, Emma and Graham are the owners of the pub.

Well if she is the owner of a pub, then she should be well used to people smelling of boose, and even pleased if she sold it.

Phil

Yes, but when you are discussing a couple of grands worth of work it's better you keep a business like demeanour.
