I used to be a plod but thought better of it after a few years plodding about. Anyone else ex plod?
I’ve got an idea the Coffee might have applied for the job…but was rejected!

Not a [zb]ing chance. 
I wouldn’t have lasted 5 minutes anyway. First time some jumped up ■■■■ with a couple of stripes on his arm or a bit of gold braid somewhere told me to do something I didn’t want to do I would have told them to ■■■■ off and it would have all been over. I don’t deal very well with authority, never have done, which explains suspensions and expulsions from school in my younger days, as I am too pig headed. The only paramilitary organisation that required the wearing of a uniform I have ever been a part of was the Boy Scouts and that didn’t end well when I was thrown out for objecting to somebody asking me to do something I didn’t fancy doing.
Oh you rebel!

I don’t make a good rebel either as I am too meh about most things to care enough to rebel. It’s easier and takes less effort to just dig your heels in and say ■■■■ off.

did he not get arrested for it?..
We have a driver at our place that keeps on about being ex “job” (whatever thats supposed to mean 
)
Tried to tell me one early morning that he’d report me to his “friends” that are still in the “job” if I didnt get the headlight on my car fixed. Hes also told other drivers the same.
Anyway I asked a old school friend of mine who happens to be a Sergeant and traffic cop “darn sarf” to do a little digging on the quiet.
Turns out he did his initial training and about half of his probationary period then left at the first sight of a dead body.
He doesnt know I know yet but Im saving the information for future use 
I was asked to leave the air cadets years ago for refusing to wear the uniform trousers, I found the material too rough and itchy when damp. But the fact that I thumped a cadet warrant officer around the ear may have been a contributing factor as well I think, he ordered me to do 12 laps of the parade ground with a Lee Enfield 303 above my head, I told him to get stuffed cos the bloody thing was bigger than me.

As I would never call the police for anything what do you think?
Oh, and it wasn’t a he.
I worked withy a bloke that was an ex-copper, Ex CID. Basically he left the job because he’d had enough of the [zb], the story I heard from another ex-cop I know was that he basically didn’t fit into the CID Clique, So was a bit of an outsider. He was a sound bloke to work with, not the type where your heart sinks when he turns up at the same table as you in a cafe.

I know exactly what you mean.
I wasnt bullied at school so felt no need to join the police.

My brother in law is “ex SAS” and will tell anyone who stays long enough to listen that he’s always being asked to do “jobs” for them
(He was a driver in the RCT)
A good friend of mine was in bomb disposal in Northern Ireland, has a medal for it and
never, ever mentions what he did.

Ex RMP, never served with Civi police apart from in a civilian detention officer role. We took over the locking up from PCs as we were cheaper.
Id love to pump a women polis preferably a wee darling but would accept a munter. Outside the pub a few weeks ago in bailleston i fell in love with this wee blonde thing breaking up a fight with 2 big geezers.
Mrs 8W was a copper many years ago in Tilbury. She was never short of work there and always got stuck in despite being a 5’3" shortarse.
One of my drinking buddys is plod and so is his ever so pretty wife, you would never expect her to be able to break up a fight, she is so pretty, like a model. I have never seen her in uniform but I have seen her in black tights a blouse, and skirt obviously
They can both tell some of the best stories ever, especially during a lock in!

Talking about Lock ins sounds like the good old days of the local plod,
When we were kids the best pub to go underage drinking was the one used by the off duty coppers. They all knew we were underage, turning up in Air Cadet uniform didn’t help but I think they worked on the theory that that at least they knew where we were and could keep an eye on us. 
Tried to join but got turned down when they discovered my parents were married, so I stayed on in school instead
