Have you ever thought about the fire service Mickey?? Much more respect from the public and you’ll get more ■■■■■ too, also you could drive the engine with your class 2■■

Hi mate plenty of jobs around Peterborough just spend a day door knocking you’ll soon have a job…
As you know I play rugby with a few of your ex collegues… most from Thorpe wood… also know a few female Dibbles aswell, reading between the lines maybe you were not quite cut out to be a dibble…))
Not a big deal, just move on, try and ignore the negative vibes… Good luck mate, our place is class 1 only…
Spent the day just doing that on Saturday. Might have one lined up just need to have a chat with him so fingers crossed

I will have a look into that
Yous were coppers, that’s a noble and important job but this crap about the stress being hard to deal with and the constent worry about coming home just sounds like yous weren’t mentally up for the task. Iam not trying to be rude but its just what I see here
Blimey i thought this was a thread about a fellow professional driver looking for a job, not the bloody Nuremburg trials. 
Sorry Mickeyblue, not up your way so i don’t know about jobs there but GOOD LUCK! I hope you find something quick. 
As far as I’m aware it’s not that easy to get into the fire service, it’s a bit more than just driving the truck. Not sure on the more respect thing either, up here in the north east they tend to be looked upon as an easier target by the young thugs.
As for the rest of your story it’s none of my business. I was surprised, considering how long you have been on the forum, that you aired your washing. Too many tools on here with axes to grind.

To be blunt with ya, i don’t need to prove anything, simples.Oh yes you do! Any probationer facing a Reg 13 dismissal at 6 months’ service raises some significant questions - all the more if he has done a year or two as a PCSO so should have had at least half an idea what The Job entailed. Those first six months will have included basic training and a period on the streets with a tutor before being let out on his own. If he’s facing a Reg 13 at six months, serious questions must have already been asked pretty much from the outset. First question is whether he has a realistic grasp of his own capabilities and limitations, or is he some kind of dreamer?
In the days before PCSOs, it was common to see wannabe bobbies turned down at interview (or even before) and advised to try the Specials (aka Hobby Bobbies) for a while, to see how they fitted in. As a result, the Special Constabulary became filled with two distinct sets of people - those who had a genuine desire to serve their communities and those who were simply too ■■■■ thick and/or lacking in communication skills to cut it in the Regulars. The introduction of PCSOs appears to have introduced another avenue for such “failed” applicants to find a way in to employment as a copper.
So, as a wanabee truck driving employee you need to be thinking in advance how you are going to convince a prospective employer that the reason you resigned after only 6 months was not that you weren’t up to it, but rather that you did not want to be a copper in the first place (and if not, why did you join up anyway - you had a few years as a PCSO to see what The Job was like). These questions will be asked, and you need to be able to answer them convincingly.
Best of luck with your job-hunting
To put it bluntly.
Have you ever done an Agency job that was not quite what you was told it would be.
Have you ever had an agency job that turned permanant, and then was different to how it was on agency.
That I believe sums up the position Mickyblue is now in, only it is not an “Agency” job but the police.
nearly there:

Nothing about stress, but it is nice to wake up and not having to worry about what is install for me that day. I been working for the police for 6 years and i can ensure you that it wasn’t down to stress. Yes i was out of depth doing the job but i didn’t know that until i got in and did the job if that makes sense
alamcculloch:
Please tell us more about Reg.13.The police can shoot Brazilian electricians ,they can drive like looneys, they can take on other work during their many days off.They get away with killing protesters and people carrying bits of furniture.How do you get kicked out of the Polis?
By not biting the hand that feeds, and that’s not joe public who their sworn to “protect”.
Good luck to you Micky,
I haven’t always agreed with everything you’ve said here, but I think you’ve always been honest and called it how you saw it.
i could be wrong, but i would expect that most small to medium sized firms wouldn’t take on an ex copper.
the large ones probably would though.
so two CVs might be handy, depending on who you apply to.

They all do that, they are never off-duty. It’s instilled into them at Hendon training school.True.
My brother in law nicked someone at a Rod Stewart gig a few years ago for being drunk and disorderly.
Ken.
Off duty doctors are the same and bloody paramedics too, always pushing people out the way to save their lives. 
dont know how mechanically minded you are but vosa are advertising for a vehicle inspector in royston not roadside i think its doing the tests in the station about 20 grand a year
