Pure Walt.
The recognised charitable lead for Sepsis is the UK Sepsis Trust, not “Sepsis UK Trust” which at first glance appears to be a weak play on words whereby Walter can shrug it off and say “Same thing, innit?” or if someone delves too deep, then deny all involvement by saying “Ah they're the UK Sepsis Trust. We’re Sepsis UK”.
Either way, the random wording of the livery, the mixed up fonts and sizes, the aforementioned random “HEMS Support” legend.....
Far too random to be anything official.
In terms of overall condition though, we’ve got worse trucks than that in London

And that’s the thing. Owning an ambulance isn’t illegal.
Using one to exercise exemptions from the Road Traffic Act and Highway Code is where it starts to get more serious.
Impersonating ambulance staff isn’t illegal in itself either. It’s when an individual starts getting hands-on with their “patient” at which point they stray in to assault/GBH territory.
(Just to be clear, that DOESN’T apply to a well-intentioned by-stander having a go at CPR etc)

Personally, I think our modern society has created a legion of total fantasists who have runaway to a made up world because they haven’t the balls to cope with reality.
The thing is, they’ve always been there. The ubiquitous ‘bloke down the pub, singing s
t dit’s about their ( non existent) military escapades / service’ and so on. The difference is, we now have the internets. This means there doesn’t need to be someone who actually did what they claim, to appear, and question them into silence / doing a runner. The Internet means that there really is nowhere to hide now.GOATever said:

Cuts both ways though.t dit’s about their ( non existent) military escapades / service’ and so on. The difference is, we now have the internets.

I think we can all agree that being a first responder, Police, Fire, Paramedic etc is one of the most difficult and least Walty jobs out there.
It's the people who aren't first responders, won't ever be first responders, but think they are first responders, are the ones who are dangerous...
Some Special Constables are insanely WaltyIt's the people who aren't first responders, won't ever be first responders, but think they are first responders, are the ones who are dangerous...

Walt ambulance?
UK Sepsis trust looks legit, but loads of stickers (HEMS Support), 53 reg and nearly flat tyres.
That's pretty serious Walting. If you google the UK Sepsis Trust (the Official Body), a lot of people in fundraising mistakenly call them the Sepsis UK Trust on the Just Giving pages, which is on the Waltbulance. Is the Waltbulance just an advert for a private sepsis training company?UK Sepsis trust looks legit, but loads of stickers (HEMS Support), 53 reg and nearly flat tyres.

Why would a Special be a Walt? It's basically unpaid police work isn't it. If you're doing the actual job then by definition your not a Walt?
It's the way they love being part of the "police family" and solemnly echo the patronising views prevalent amongst Plod, somehow imagining themselves as driving gods, while fantasying about being able to taser scrotes. Walt-ism by association.vikingaero said:
