Pugwash I'll put that out where is the 22nd meeting?

Otta and Red Devil don't do anything, don't say anything, don't read this thread. I personally don't know that anything other than a digital photo and a cake that I won't even deliver personnally: the Camberwell Force will eat it with their tea.

And I wonder who will be right you both or me in a few years for Mr Crust looking back

I can see it from both sides here. Otta & red devil are going with his wishes, which is good.

But you prefer to ignore them which is understandable.


Sometimes when people retire they don't want a fuss, don't want to be the centre of attention etc. It's just the thought/embarrassment of it.

Then when it happens and they get inundated with gifts and thanks, they are so grateful and appreciative.


I don't live in ED and don't even know him but I'm sure he will love whatever you do. And he'll have a wonderful retirement experience to look back on.

Just to clarify, I think cake / well wishes / putting forward for an MBE are all great ideas.


I don't think a party or going in to local businesses trying to blag free meals is such a good idea. If I was the chap in question, I'd feel a bit uncomfortable about that sort of thing.


But that's just my opinion.

I have written to Sgt Victoria to see if Adrian is doing the Street Meeting outside the mosque on NX Rd Friday 22nd 12.30 - 1.30, as I will take a long and early lunch break to come and wish him well.

I think if all of us who feel that Adrian has been an exceptional police officer, could recommend him for an OBE or something, this would be a good testimony. I have his Police number somewhere.


We have a history of exceptional bobbies in ED - George (cannot recall surname) who was stabbed in LL in 1985 and the local police all donated blood for him. The Ed Community Centre has a big event and raised nearly a ?1000 towards a scanner for Kings in Feb 1986 ( I recall this well as I had a 2 week old baby) followed by Mike Ward, Mick Bell and Adrian

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.     
    • That’s very insulting! You are basically calling 17 million people that voted to leave the EU ‘thick’.        Brexit happened Sue.  Boring graphs!  Calling Nigel Farage a plastic patriot is also very insulting seeing as he and the Reform Party have had a landslide victory all over England.
    • These charity collectors are often classed as chuggers.  It can be scandalous that the charity/admin may keep a huge percentage of your donations and a tiny percentage is  actually given to the charity.   I can not speak for individual collectors - but it common practice.
