I wanted to be a lumberjack!
Leaping from tree to tree....
I don't think Lumberjacks 'leap' from tree to tree, so perhaps it's a good job you found another career path or you might have been very disappointed

Oh I dunno judging by the Loonies that trimmed the Pine trees next to my House, swinging about like Tarzan they were.I don't think Lumberjacks 'leap' from tree to tree, so perhaps it's a good job you found another career path or you might have been very disappointed

Jobs do get handed over but if you’ve been working on it from the start and know the job inside out it makes sense to carry on especially if it’s a complex investigation. Of course, under the human rights act the detainee is also entitled to a rest period in the 24 hr period...more rights than the police officers! Now that’s an EU guided bit of UK legislation that I don’t like. Pre police and criminal evidence act you could arrest someone, go home for the weekend, and come back and deal with on Monday ... if you remembered !No wonder so many court cases are lost if the poor sod doing the collating has worked a 24 hour shft!
moat of the time ive been testing for local authority housing, ive been in this for at least 7 of the 10 years ive been qualified.
ive tried the commercial/shop fitting route but that wasnt for me either
Depends whether it’s a 30 foot high leylandi hedge or not? I’ve had some big beech trees taken down and done a small bit of chainsaw work clearing up. Talk about a dangerous job, knowing where to cut and the weights involved.I have dipped in and out the trade since I was about 15 or 16.
Have tried being a rep and even tried showroom manager.
But my draw is always to tinkering with lectrics..
That said I did just get a quote to remove my conifer hedge and the gardener wants £1500 cash.
Reckons its about 2 days work.
Maybe there is more money in bush whacking after all...
Also quite normal to arrest someone and work a 24 hr shift in order to collate evidence and get charging decision in the detention period.

Wish I could say the same about my neighbourI wouldn't charge anything to whack my neighbour's bush

Used to do seven days of night duty, finish at 6am Monday then start again at 2pm, do two late turns before getting 2 days off.Me thinks a slight exaggeration; your 17 week work pattern rotation 'computer says no' would kick doing a couple of those, and tell you to go home and do some gardening leave.
But then the Met always think they know better.

Yes, correct. Just quoting old war stories from the old sweats that still couldn’t get their head round PACE in 1987.Wasn't PACE a 1982 act that was introduced in 1984 (from memory - not google), so you must be old if you were in the job over 35 years ago.

I became a petty criminal and subsequently ended up doing tiime in Wormwood Scrubs, Pentonville, Belmarsh and various other excellent English prisons. Pentonville was my favorite. There was a real party atmosphere there and you could get a room with a view ( of Caledonian Rd). Belmarsh was always horrible felt like being in a mental hospital. Its a souless modern building. You cant beat the Classic architecture of an old victorian prison.Hi all. im at a stage where i cant face getting up in the moring to go to work. ive tried jobs in commercial and domestic but i dont have the passion for them like i used to. ive been in the trade for 15 years including my apprenticeship but now im considering a totally different carrer.
I know ill always have trade behind me to fall back on, has anyone made a career switch and regreted it and moved back?
Thanks
Pointless unless you have molested someone or an animal or have been partying with IRA or Hamas, Moley at least meets one of the criteria to become an MP........Become a Member of Parliament. The country needs someone with a semblance of common sense. And you wont need to get up early, either!
