Amateurs, this walt's rack is my all-time favourite. I bet he had to go through doors sideways.

I like to think whoever mounted them stitched him up deliberately and made a good profit.
It must make it really difficult for him to walk seeing as he can't move his left arm forward.

It's probably to stop him saluting with his left.

He must have mounted them himself as no self-respecting medal mounting company would mount them like that.

I think some people are missing the fact that he’s been reincarnated. Twice. So it’s perfectly possible that 2/3rds of those medals are from his military service in previous lives…..

For the discerning door staff who want to up their ID game…



We get issued with something similar and they are incredibly naff. There’s also no way I’m carrying two wallets around with me, so my actual plastic warrant card just gets tucked away in the back of my normal wallet where it can’t be seen, or it’s on my lanyard with my swipe/access cards when I’m actually at work.

Example below, I’m not Nottinghamshire, but I can assure you, it’s equally gash.

You've just reminded me. When I was a special with Dyfed Powys many years ago we were issued a proper leather wallet with an enamelled metal shield. Real quality item.

When I later transferred to the Cheshire Constabulary we were issued a fake leather / plastic wallet with a printed shield, genuinely looked like something a kid would get with a dressing up kit. It was quickly discarded and my warrant card went in my normal wallet from then on.

All that LWB space to play with, and the poor hound has a tiny, dark, wooden box to live in?

Next to the gas cylinder too, pray for no regulator or hose leaks..

Someone locally has one that he uses for kids parties; always seems to be booked out.. also gets asked for it as a prop in films/tv.

Speaking of fire, check out the Walt in the grey t-shirt waving everyone off while he stands next to a burning car. Supplementary Walts also appear in the video. Apologies for the vertical.

Where to begin? It was good of our hero in grey to flag down the fire brigade and tell them where the problem was, they’d have missed it and drove past otherwise. Also, what’s with the JLR product busting into flames and taking out a load innocently parked cars, unheard of I thought?

Looks quite decent inside. Shame about the gift wrapping.
Obviously a Security Dog Unit is a grade above a plain old Dog Unit - and newer too!

I assume the first fire engine that arrived wasn't actually fire brigade as it arrived and then promptly did nothing. Then one with lights you could see and sirens arrived and put it out

You are totally wrong squire, they heard kernel lemon squash shouting GET BACK and waited for gold command to take over, over

That first fire engine is ancient, circa late 90s. I know some brigades retain some older stuff but I can’t imagine they’d still be running motors of that vintage. Possibly it might have been in some sort of private ownership or belong to an organisation other than the fire service (some steam locomotive operators run them as water tankers, for example). Or there’s just a local walt on the loose.

Bloke in the grey top is surely pissed?!
