Bernard McFacknutah posted:Chartley, come and work for the MET, every Scot I know in the job is a Sergeant at least. When the civil war starts north of the border you can come and join me in London with a nice overfunded and bloated police force, Romanian strip clubs and hipster bars with £9 a pint 'craft' beer. Who knows what's going to happen. The catch is I like the way we work and the legislation we have to do our jobs. We have plenty of amazing pubs where I live (note not work). I'm in the largest city etc. Moving may happen but it's grand for now. Although, is it a guaranteed promotion?

Bernard McFacknutah posted:In all honesty PACE is a loving joke and from what I hear you have a lot more 'common sense' legislation north of the border but judging by the vast quantity of Scot Sergeants and Inspectors I've met who have moved down from Scotland I think it's safe to say that your training better prepares you and that promotion boards are fond of the general bullshit free attitude you get in Scotland. I've been in to a custody suite before where 4 of the 6 Sergeants on duty are filthy jocks and so is the Governor. Pace seems stinking to work with. Don't know if I could be bothered dealing with the hot potato of race and racism. It's really not a major thing up here. Sectarian religious stuff mind you...

Have always enjoyed visiting London but the lower pay and cost of living increase is a big nasty element.

beanieson posted:Sitting around, lifting weights, eating chili, taking one fire call a month. Last year I was at a call where the fire brigade (aka red death) also attended. It was a Saturday early evening and we were running from call to call. One of the fireys complained to me that he still had shampoo in his hair as when they got the call he had just finished up at the gym and was about to go for dinner after a shower. I didn't hide my displeasure well.

Well, as predicted by myself and a few others, some disorder reigned in Glasgow - http://m.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-29288249 We managed to keep the sides split, vent a bit, act like the idiots they are then go home without raising the city. From what I'm aware cops stayed in conventional uniform but were supported by mounted police. Pretty darn good work to be honest. No one dead, take note America!

Bernard, I can't help but think you're a parody account fuelled by the Viz profanasaurus and rather a lot of scotch.

Bernard McFacknutah posted:You've clearly not spent enough time in London. Half the blokes on team down here sound exactly like me, the other half are more or less indentured servants we have imported from the far reaches of England. Secondary school was more or less an exhibition in learning as many disgusting metaphors and expletives as possible. I promise you it isn't a dig or complaint. I speak fluent Glaswegian. Not exactly the friendliest of tongues. The two key words are most probably 'gently caress' and 'oval office' and that's in friendly conversation.

Bernard McFacknutah posted:This act is literally known as a Glasgow kiss. The accused threw his whole torso back almost doubling over then snapping back making perfect connection with the victim sparking him out. Couldn't help but think if I'd tried to so it I would have either fallen over or missed. Different skills and all that I guess
