The local pub here had a stanger in last nihgt who was drunk & getting abusive & violent towards the other drinkers in there - the landlady dialled 999, let them know what was going on, & waited.....

& waited.....

She rang 999 again & was told they had lost the records of her first call but that a car would be along shortly, again she waited.....

& waited....

.....& they didn't bother coming out. She rang them back this morning to complain & she asked them what she should do if he came back today, particularly as it would be just herself & a barmaid wroking in there at lunchtime. The reply? Just dial 999...... :rolleyes:
 
S/L we have had that reaction down here in the BRONX for the last 5 yrs or more thats a norm here..........

I phoned them about 5 yrs ago a sunday lunchtime 999 to report young men with off road bikes going like stink on the local park with children playing there he gave me a bollicking for ringing 999 he said that's not a 999 call I said ho isn't it!!! I'll take your name please if one of these children then gets mowed down I'LL hold you responsible ...but they still never came out...... :o :o

I wrote to the chief constable the home office its still the same or worse now...... :o :rolleyes:
 
Ted that is a breathtakingly daft remark. Do you regard racially motivated crime as acceptable ? Of course you don't .

Police failure to turn up to 999 calls is wholly unacceptable . The appropriate thing for the landlady to write to the Chief Constable asking for an explanation and telling him if he does not reply within 14 days she will be complaining to the Independent Police Complaints Commission

IPCC
 
I phoned the police a couple of years ago after some sad ferker followed my young son home and asked him some pretty sick questions.
Me and another guy chased the bloke and he dissapeared down an alley and into someones back garden. We knew he was still there but we couldn't exactly go into other peoples property searching for him.

This was on a Saturday evening, the police turned up at 3pm on Tuesday.
 
I got stoned no not me personally :D but my house on the MONDAY phoned police on the WEDNESDAY phoned police on the FRIDAY phoned police....
they responded 11 DAYS LATER WITH A PHONE CALL HONESTwanting to see my CCTV of the incidents...... meanwhile I had sorted it myself :angry: :angry: ...............
 
With the drink laws in the country changing at the mo, probally IMO this may be of no use, but if some guy wants to act himself in ones pitch, towards mine host or the punters, then if the person's responsible for the premises has to cry for the local plod to respond. Then when the pitch's licence is up before the beak (for renewal), then the amount of times that HM forces were called upon, to aid the continuation of trading! This would be taking into consideration, in the granting of the licence renewal!
This will change, as the council will be in future be in charge of the licence renewals/applications etc.
Perhaps a better staffing policy, (have a door presence on site), might lead to a case of, "prevention is better than the cure"! ;)
 
There's a thought... as long as it pays slightly better than the usual gateman's purse, I'm up for being 'a door presence'. In fact, there'd be little need for a door at all...
 
Next time, just phone the police and tell them the person's brandishing a firearm. When the forty ARUs arrive you can tell them you mistook his torch for a gun. The guy will be dead anyway <_<
 
Seriously, aren't publicans allowed ANY sort of personal response, like a pepper spray? Or a bottle of Blue Nun cracked over the miscreant's head?

Cheers, Aunty Jon!!!!

The answer to Paul's original question was somewhere between very & exceptionally... :lol:
 
I`m at work and the internet is playing up. I thought I was replying to the Denman thread. Feck knows how this came up.
 
yes

Is "edited" a code word Euronymous?

I've googled it but there doesn't seem to be any secret message involved...I did find this out though

Word History: The word edit is often cited as an example of back-formation. In other words, edit is not the source of editor, as dive is of diver, the expected derivational pattern; rather, the reverse is the case. Edit in the sense "to prepare for publication," first recorded in 1793, comes from editor, first recorded in 1712 in the sense "one who edits." There is more to the story, however. Edit also comes partly from the French word éditer, "to publish, edit," first recorded in 1784. In the case of edit, two processes, borrowing and back-formation, occurred either independently or together, perhaps one person originally taking edit from French, another from editor, and yet a third from both. Sometimes it's used by a messageboard poster called Euronymous to hail old threads up on a board called "Talking Horses".

Nice to see TH get a mention like that - nice one Euronymous :cool:
