I’ve had some contact with colleagues deployed to G7. I think it’d be fair to say the catering isn’t haute cuisine…...
The last one doesn’t look so bad. Apparently it’d would’ve been good, had it even been just warm…
That's disgusting.The last one doesn’t look so bad. Apparently it’d would’ve been good, had it even been just warm…
They should make all the politicians there eat the same stuff.
No excuse for that.
Mass catering is always tricky. Just keeping it hot is a bonus. That said the food is pretty shocking and some of the deployments don’t seem to make much sense. Some people are working 16 hour shifts, then travel an hour to the feed station, then an hour back to their accommodation for sleep/ablutions…
I know my own force couldn’t get enough volunteers for G7 (same with GMP, Police Scotland, Humberside, Merseyside, North Wales and Lancashire), so people were sent, whether they wanted to go or not.
A few years ago, the planning teams would have been oversubscribed with willing volunteers for mutual aid deployments. Nowadays most people don’t want to work cancelled rest days at time and a half or public holidays at double time.

The pasty looks alright, I'm thinking it's a Warrens one by looking at it, not the best ones around.

The only catering the Fed has ever been involved in is at the their conferences.. where their very expensive outside caterers did a brilliant job using my subscriptions
Although having gone as a delegate and observer I made sure I ate my subscriptions worth

You’re hilarious. The ability to feed thousands through Buck gate was really impressive, but even that’s gone now

Not to mention those left behind now having cancelled rest days and being put on 12 hour shifts to cover those that have gone

You’re hilarious. … and all while wearing a tunic and driving the area car in between the most arrests, ever.

How true. I would have thought a trip to Philps might have been in order. Or a large Horse & Jockey!The pasty looks alright, I'm thinking it's a Warrens one by looking at it, not the best ones around.
