    Inspirational Charles Ross in more ways than one!:) As a teenage lover of the Lightning I wish I was nearer but then I wish I was nearer several other boyhood dreams. I/we understand so much now about the trials and triblations of this story that I can only hope that one way or another she gets a “home” befitting her lineage. Thank you.

    Blimkey! Not sure if I’d want to chance my arm let alone my head. The thought of all those waywardly flayling rotor blades…….:eek:

    Smoke and mirrors. There were 2 burglaries in my road, the site showed just one, but they were both in December.
    Targets again. Folks seem to think targets are a relativly new thing, and the figures set in stone. DON’T beleive it, 44 yrs ago, when I was a Police probationer, we each had to fill in a Form, stating how many people we had booked, and what for.in that particular month.
    We were forced to manipulate the figures if we fell short of some target or other. No one ever checked, but if anyone Senior asked, the Sgt could state that all was fine, and dandy.
    Just ask yourself one question, when did you last see anyone on the beat?.
    I live NEXT DOOR to my local nick and only see them when they walk to and from work past my window.How did that justify them having a 2.6% pay rise last year?.

    Your comments about targets all those years ago are surprising – you just think targets are a product of the last decade. As for the rest of your post don’t get me on modern policing otherwise the mods will have me banned for life!!:mad::dev2:

    Well indeed – problems arise daily and we all have to find way of solving them. That’s the solution. In this case the solution was to kill the dogs, albeit in a way none of us would support.
