"snaps, are you still a Delta driver?  Any info from booking number, pickup point etc.?"
Yes but regardless of what records there are unless I had him by the neck with my phone in his hand or it was witnessed by several serving police officers a JP and the Archbishop of Canterbury It's 'Your word against his.'

But surely you've reported it to the police?  At least they could be given the number of the phone that made the booking?
I know it won't be even investigated probably but I'd still become a statistic personally.  Too many crimes 'lost' by the police without them not being recorded in the first place.

On the 'I'll do that next week' list.

Investigation?
They don't have the manpower to open the police stations.
Anymore than fill in a form and put up the statistics by one?
No chance. It's on the list with a crime number and that's as far as it will go.

Don't worry there is now started this week a national campaign to get another 20,000 policemen on the streets, to fine us when we go to a supermarket outside our area.

That's replacing the 20,000 they sacked off not increasing the size of the force.

Yes but that was magically different Torys, it wasn't these Torys.

Unfortunately the crime will be screened out, but it will be 'recorded' as National Criming Standards require this... only in December did the CC of GMP resign, following report from HMI for Policing criticizing the force Crime Recording, amongst other failings.

The biggest issue facing Policing in the UK currently is that in 1989-1991 saw a massive recruitment drive across all police forces.  Now 30 years on, all those experienced officers leaving having completed 30 years service, and with the best will in the world forces are struggling to recruit quick enough.

I know from recent personal experience, that some recruits have had a shock once starting, some leaving as they didn't like having to work evenings, nights or weekends...

The Military faces the same problem, the youth/young 'Millennials' who should be the recruits of today, are different to those of us that grew up in the last century, they want to work in the warm and dry, and anything over 8 hours a day they think is excessive!

Is that honestly true or is it really anecdotal? A millennial, btw, is someone born 1980ish to 1995ish - there are 40 year old millennials!

If you go back to Plato's time you'll find scholars banging on about young people not wanting to tread grapes anymore, they're too busy graffitiing the Parthenon or something.
