and no I don't mean getting caught speeding by a camera (I've not yet had that pleasure)

Got stopped and searched this morning while joining the tube. Bib said it was due to my bulky rucksack. Showed him my dirty washing and my laptop. Had a laugh and a joke with the GiB. All very pleasant. Took name, DOB and address.

No problem.

What did they need that for.
Did you get your receipt(written reason) for why they stopped you.

Where is your ID card

yeah GiB = Girl in Blue

Took details as I have 12 months in whcih to obtain a written record of the stop from the local police station.

All in all, from start to finish, the whole process took about 90 seconds.

Wait till winter comes and everyones wearing big thick coats

Good to see that the B/GiB are being proactive. Doubt it will make a lot of difference. If the public transport system gets too well policed the next target will be large public events like football games....

Interesting this morning (forgot it's a Thursday) - was wondering why there were 6 plod on my little station. Watched two GiBs wandering up and down the platform at that pace known as 'Proceeding'. Stopped a bloke along form me and searched his bag. No clue why they didn't search mine as it was preactically the same size (probably because no self respecting terrorist would be reading a book on Quantum Physics!!!).

Nice to see them out in force but made me wonder at the cost of the extra policing - either in other areas not having sufficiant cover or in the overtime bill the Met will be paying!

In London today you'll notice 6 plod on every tube and BR platform. I got away at 2230hrs last night, was back in at 0500hrs after about 3 hours sleep. Am doing at least a 15 hour day today.....can't say why, very hush hush

If you notice me sitting on a bench later please give me a quick boot to wake me up....

Explaining the whip marks and wax burns might be trickier though...
