Guy in the middle is fine. Fatty on the left is wearing tactical kit and camo. Unless he is a vet, he is a walt. Guy on the right why he holding his rifle is a bit waltish. Resting but poised. No.
Why, does being a vet give you special dispensation for wearing dpf in an act of civil disobedience against a virus? Tyre Smoke said:
I saw a yellow 55 plate pick up on the A361 near South Molton a couple of days back. Orange light bar and COVID-19 CLEAN UP RESPONSE UNIT down the sides.
Wasn't them was it?
Also my first NHS Key Worker sticker on a newish XC90 near the Royal Devon and Exeter hospital.
I've seen that XC90 on Barrack Road too. There was a Clio a car or two behind with 'NHS Volunteer' badges on at the same time. Maybe doing the hospital runs for the Doris's and Morris's, but I can't see the benefit of the stickers. Wasn't them was it?

On a local level, the Exeter University security mob certainly tick the box. They're kitted out better than most response cars, but for what reason I have no idea. Brand new transporters with de-fibs, body cams, stabbies etc. I guess the Student union with Tabitha and Tarquin can get a little rowdy on occasion. I particularly like the aerial markings on the top of the vans.

Ooh look there’s a phone no. on the side of that van - it would just have to end in 999 wouldn’t it! Should I even be suggesting a bit of Walt baiting? Probably not but could be amusing.

My mate used to wind 'Dog Section' up on our barracks. he'd call and ask to speak to Mr Barker. When the reply came that "There's no Mr Barker here" he would say "but I can hear him in the background" and then hang up. then he got all Billy Big-Balls and started pranking squadron commanders and even the CO. Then our NCO got called in to the 'big office' and was warned that if ALL the prank calls didn't stop immediately, "further action would be taken". The new digital telephone exchange meant that the calls could be (and had been) traced to the exact desk that they were made from.
Spotted this, looks like the perfect starter pack for the Walt types. Just add a high viz vest and walkie talkie!

Yes. A very interesting discussion on the radio about the good ole USA, where it was stated that many Americans arm themselves to the hilt as protection against 'government action' of some sort. (With a bit of hunting and marauding to fill in the boring bits).

He turned up in a scruffy old lifted pickup truck that was covered in extra spot lamps, had a confederate flag hanging in the back window of the cab, and the truck was covered in stickers from the USA saying things like:
"When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns"
"Proud of my country - Ashamed of my government"
"No Government"
etc
He was wearing ripped jeans, cowboy boots and a worn out American flag baseball cap.
My mum was talking to him and it turned out he was unemployed 'for years', but traps and shoots grey squirrels for a hobby.
Wants rid of governments apparently, but clearly couldn't live without his social housing and monthly benefits payments.
