I wanna go to Trafex2017 and meet bosshogg!!! beer
I was there yesterday....paperbag Actually, I was at ParkEx that was in the same hall - I felt like a Man U fan in the Anfield Kop, but did very well not to get lynched.

There was a lot of traffic management kit aimed at the construction industry, as well as car park barrier control and s, ANPR cameras, that sort of thing. But there were a LOT of people wandering about who are clearly weekend heroes collecting lots of hi-viz freebies, and binging on complimentary sweets,

There was a lot of 4x4 Response type vehicles dotted around the car parks.

If it were me in the car, I'd just shout "I'm a district nurse on my way to see a patient who is trapped in her house, cut off from all the recent flooding". This is walt-code for "something far more serious than your little jogging event has occurred" and the hi-vis jackets are trained to leap out of the way to assist her speedy arrival at said "patient". It even works in the summer during droughts.

Well it's better than letting them DRIVE INTO THE PATH OF THE ZOMBIE MARATHON. If you had he right training and hi-viz tabard, you'd know that.

ETA bks, I got to the next page and someone else had beaten me to it =(

Response time = poor.

Action required = immediate retraining.

I've read that article a couple of times now. I get the impression the reporter was thinking "this guy is a complete tool but I have to be polite" and trying not to piss him/herself

if a run has gone to the trouble of closing roads it hasn't just occurred and they pay to shut roads so it's not going to be a little event either.

Hasn't it occurred to you that you're Walting yourself if you do this?

That's just a bit of deception. It's only walting if he actually believes he's as good as, or better, than a real midwife.

Having been involved with marshalling a few runs, the number of runners that can't deal with any thing more than left foot, right foot does show the need for road closures. A good number certainly appear close to death!

Also:

"Harrison looks up for no more than a split second. ‘Nope, not Maow Maow. The legs are too short, and the hair is too long. Close, though,’ she says, turning a bucket over. Then her walkie-talkie buzzes. ‘Viki, Viki, it’s Tom, over,’ barks the voice. As the only other person on the search, it could only ever have been Watkins, but protocol is protocol.

Harrison responds. We both await Watkins’ follow-up with bated breath… ‘I’m out of posters. Let’s reconvene.’"


That journalist is hilarious.

I've seen this numerous times and it boils my piss. He has no business imitating a paramedic like that. His stupid fking walt wagon should be crushed with all his faux medical kit still inside, and he should be made to watch.

6 points and a £150 fine. He already drives with no licence, so what deterrent is 6 points? And a £150 fine?! Peanuts.

That guy made my skin crawl. He has the face of a rapist.
I would agree re his face, if he wasn't such a fking virgin.

Way worse than most Walts - he has the potential to do people real harm.
