It was probably a Traffic Control and Safety Officer (TCSO) They're responsible for designing traffic management plans for long term roadworks, installing the roadworks cones and signs, maintaining them and removal once the work is complete. I've seen several TCSO vehicles marked up to look like ours!
That fits, it was near a big road engineering work - A19/A1058 Silverlink roundabout on North Tyneside.

A MK1 Focus still seems terribly old.

They're not bothered about the age as long as they work, they get some hammering so it's not worth buying anything decent. wink

The biggest cock this thread discovered.

I wonder why he's selling? Perhaps he's been told to "cease & desist" by people with real authority.

This outfit was on our local news last night:

According to the video (scroll down) they need more members as they only have four bikes.

"Every year, hundreds of people go missing in Lincolnshire",

Do they really? We don't get that many going missing on Exmoor, which I would think is a bit more potentially dangerous than the famously flat county of Lincolnshire.

I clicked onto his main Facebook page (privacy settings wide open, of course) and it seems he has a new job that comes with a van so might be selling off his car because of it.

Looks like he now fixes washing machines. I presume his new van will need flashing ambers, sirens and comms so that he can quickly respond to emergency detergent blockages.

Lowland teams do a good job, yet more uninformed tttishness this thread delivers.

If you knew what you were talking about, instead of spouting bks freely you'd know that many people go missing who don't get reported, despondents, dementia sufferers, all sorts, which don't make the news. The police usually don't have enough manpower to form a large search team (I'm qualified in search techniques so know how what resources this takes) to go after each and every one, so Lowland teams step in to take up the slack.

Lowland teams don't get the high profile jobs that Mountain Rescue teams do, the highline winches off snow covered mountains which make good TV, but they do an awful lot of good, at no cost to the public. If your old parents got dementia and shambled out into the wilds in the middle of the night, even in flat Lincolnshire, it is likely a Lowland team would be the ones to go find them.

Looking for missing people isn't really on the same level as standing in the rain remembering people's kind words with one eye asleep.
