Working in a (closed) kiddies indoor play place - and had to listen to Radio One on full volume all day!
The DJ's seemed to have an IQ slightly above that of a frog - and the "music" consisted of black rappers (or white rappers trying to sound black) muttering incomprehensible rubbish to exactly the same backing.
I'm not really sure when I last saw a real policeman, except zipping by in a patrol car. The ones on foot are now invariably community police officers, who often seem to be female and overweight, even allowing for them wearing stab vests.
They've closed and I think sold our Police Station and opened an office. You need to make an appointment... Mind you the old station rarely had anyone in it they were always out on patrol, so no great change.
Trouble is the coppers that were based there are now based 20 odd miles away. The "Neighbourhood Police Team" is a total of eight, that includes one Inspector, one Sargent, and one PCSO. How eight can provide 24/7 cover, when taking into account sick and holiday relief, I'm not quite sure... Oh did I mention that cover is for >100 sq miles and they can be called to incidents anywhere in the NW corner of Cumbria from the far side of Carlisle NE wards.
Of course as very little happens here that needs Police attention we hardly ever see them these days. Most (uniformed) coppers I've seen for a long time was yesterday, a total of three, but then HRH Prince of Wales was visiting.
I agree, that would be torture. What I find unutterably depressing is that there is so much fine music of all kinds, all over the world, yet people listen to (is that the correct term?) such atrocious crap.
