anything you can share?
He had his head put through a glass pane a few years ago whilst trying to restrain a patient. He was punched in the stomach so hard that he pissed blood.He was working when Peter Sutcliff stabbed a patient with a pen, I seem to recall he stabbed him in the neck for some reason.
Lots of other stories but it would give the news of the screws a field day!

Just deleted an interesting tale. One only to be told in person and recounted second hand.
All NHS staff (I'm guessing this means private staff too) can't say a word about the scum, erm patients, they deal with.
I work in a "challenging area" and dispare for this world
On the plus side they make me look great !
although my spelling....... oops :- DESPAIR!

Wow. I remember hearing about this once or twice, sort of forgot about it. Just been researching it all and even listening to a clip of the alarms on Youtube. I find this sort of stuff absolutely fascinating. My Dad's just told me that they used to be able to hear it from the house when he lived in Camberley.

There are 10 sirens 1 in Bagshot (opposite The Cricketers)
2 in Bracknell (one at the station and one just off the IDR)
1 in Camberley (on top of the Main Square car park - you can't see it but you can certainly hear it!)
3 in Crowthorne (one at the station, one at the TRL and one at Broadmoor itself)
2 in Sandhurst (one at the Comprehensive school and one on a hill near the station)
1 in Wokingham (at a school on the A329 on the Bracknell side of the town).
This is an interesting read (I thought so anyway).

Reading this brings back some memories, grew up in Wokingham and lived not far from the Wokingham Siren which was in Joel Park.

Do they still have a football team? All the games are played at home apparently 
TX.
A mate of mine worked for a letting agent and sent out invites to all their corporate clients asking if they wanted to play the letting agents team. Broadmoor replied and it was only when they arrived to play the match, that they realised they weren't playing the staff. As I recall the home team won.TX.

Top end of Joel Park.Getting the sirens in the wrong order could be interesting. Recall years ago when vandals broke into one siren and set it off. The all clear couldn't be sounded as that would have to go through all the sirens. Panicky parents and teachers all round.
for anyone that's interested in institutions, as I am, a good read is Inconvenient People by Sarah Wisejohnvthe2nd said:

It's doing it again - definitely the all clear signal is being given first and then the two-tone warning alarm second. Does anyone know why they've changed the order?
I don't want to worry you but Bagshot is FULL of police looking for someone Gassing Station | Thames Valley & Surrey | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
