Fitness and the UK police

[wack]

I'm sitting in Barcelona typing this ,being a busy tourist city there are a lot of police about , prior to the recent terrorist attacks armed police had always made me nervous but now I find it reassuring

However one thing I have noticed is all the officers on the streets are young, under 40 at least and none of them are overweight , not one I've seen so far

Compare that to the coppers seen on TV puffing and panting when someone legs it it was quite a surprise to see such a young fit police force

So should our coppers be suspended if they start chubbing up until they're fit enough to do the job or is it the TV again , like whenever there's an incident in the north of England they find a woman with rotten teeth and yellow hair to interview, is our police force up to the job , you don't see fat soldiers so why isn't there a more stringent fitness test for the police

Sitting in Barca, how many of the locals look unfit or overweight?

Very few, especially the women I've never seen so many fit (sexy) women in my life, compare that to a walk round any UK town centre where the UK girls live on a diet of crisps and Jeremy Kyle and I felt ashamed to be british.

When I've been abroad in the past seeing armed police has made me feel slightly nervous but the world has changed now, I was opposed to the UK police being armed but when I see how many people one man and a truck can kill I wonder if it's time,He ploughed through dozens before being shot, If that had happened here it could have been much worse

[quote=Löyly]Eh? There are loads of fat soldiers. But don't let that put you off lusting after these fit, young Spanish men

If that's what you've read into my post I think it says more about you than me
