But then, my stepbrother who was just about to retire after getting in his thirty years as a police officer couldn't understand what possessed my daughter to join on a service which had gone to the dogs since he started as a probationer; and I know a number of retired teachers who gasp in amazement that any young graduate should contemplate going anywhere near a classroom.<br />I wonder how our predecessors from the really dim and distant past felt when a change in the law prevented them from ever again binding over the offender's neighbours to ensure that he behaved well and kept the peace.Ian Hurdleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17322290011259357106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2727871367480602637.post-66865927672189520462013-09-23T16:26:42.424+01:002013-09-23T16:26:42.424+01:00We know him by his contextual fingerprints.

This is to prevent anyone outside accessing their wifi. Otherwise the pavement would be jammed with iPad owning oiks taking their bandwidth.. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
