Are you a copper in the south of England who hasn't had a girlfriend for a while ?

Then I've got news for you ! Hot women desperate for a guy in uniform are out there waiting for you !

(From today's Guardian)
When the Freedom of Information Act came into effect on January 1 it led to a stream of serious requests, from demands for the attorney general's advice on the war to the official papers on Black Wednesday. But what no one had counted on was Angela Wright.

She saw the act as a potential way of advancing her private passion: eligible bachelors in uniform. She knew the act well and preserved her anonymity by applying (as allowed by law) under a pseudonym.

First stop: her local constabulary. She emailed Hampshire police headquarters in Winchester, making her request for information under the name "ilikemeninuniform".

Appropriately sourced at hotmail.co.uk, she asked to be told of "eligible bachelors within Hampshire constabulary between the ages of 35 and 49 and details of their email addresses, salary details and pension values".

Perhaps to her surprise, the police decided they could meet her halfway: they could release the number. And so we can reveal that Hampshire constabulary has 266 eligible bachelors, of whom 201 are in uniform.

The Guardian decided to contact ilikemeninuniform and see whether the requester would break cover and explain exactly what was behind it.

She said she had two reasons for making her FoI request: "The first was to amuse the FoI team. The second was to see what response I could get," Angela Wright emailed back.

But she is a disappointed woman. Although they have given her the headline figure, they say they cannot divulge names or email addresses, as such information is personal and exempt under the act.

"I was amazed that I was told that the information could not be practically released," she said. Instead she can only dream of the 201 eligible uniformed men she will never meet.

Now that Hampshire has released this info, doesn't that oblige other forces to release it too, if asked...

Humm. I wonder what those responding to the FoI request considered to be "eligible"? I mean, were 'gay policemen' included, or those in stable relationships but without a formal marriage, etc.? The story seems a trifle odd to me - Streaky

if they keep getting the same request from anonymous emails such as hotmails etc they will proberly stop seeing the funny side. They have a right to refuse vexatious requests under FOI act sec 14. (1).

my 2p's worth is FOI is a farce, and this is prob the first request Hampshire police headquarters have answered without coming up with an exemption or 5.

Poor cat - we do not like getting fur wet....

On my kittens' lives - all 63 of them - I do do not need to dye my naturally glossy und wavy auburn locks...und I do not do fake tans as they tend to look naff und a bit orange (und A Darling appears to use these which ist another good reason not to as it make hime look like a chocolate Cornetto ) - und sunbeds cause premature wrinklies ....und other nasties - und I have a delicate porcelain complexion - und looking pale und interesting show refinement und sophistication - und I do not do the dangly ear-rings either .... unless they are dripping mit real diamonds....und even the Mad Doc will not indulge me in this (he ist tight fisted (- ist subtlest hint - mein liebster Mad Mann - I would like some sexy sparklies ... so I am going to be Papa's girly from Tuesday onwards in the hope that he will relent in a certain shop on a certain corner in Luzern....und must dash as we are off to a party.
