Pretty sure the police would put the windows in first and worry about the sticker later.

Dear God... I've just had the most awful flashback.

After being a bit nippy with some of you a few pages ago re: twitter guy and potential bullying, the Range Rover/A R M Y photo has brought to mind that for about 5-6 months a few years back I was cutting about in a full fat "K9 PATROL" van decked out in blue/silver stickers. I can only apologise profusely to you all, perhaps I was subconsciously defending the Walt due to my own past!

Was a great gig though, they were actually working dogs and we would carry out actual patrols and it supplemented my incomes from the doors at the time. Was all good until one of the dogs fell out with me on NYE...

I'm not a Walt, honest.

Back to the muzzle for a moment. A muzzled dog isn't much of a deterrent is it?

I suppose the muzzled handler works on the basis you've fallen about helpless with laughter while the dog rifles your pockets for snacks.

We'll decide on that. What colour is the doghouse at Hereford?

Good one in blackwater a couple of weeks ago. I particularly loved how he spelt out ARMY with those chrome letters you can get from Halfords



In case you can't see, the green sticker on the rear screen reads: DOG TEMPERATURE WIFI ALARM SYSTEM ON BOARD. Why he needs to muzzle himself in order to release the dog is a mystery however.

A wifi alarm system. Where's he getting the WiFi connection in the middle of nowhere?

You don't need an internet connect to provide wifi. I have a gadget for the car for sharing media for the kids ipads that is a local wifi spot with no internet.

The question is "what is the wifi alarm doing with wifi"?

I sometimes see a van local to me that's decked out like a police dog unit van, possibly an ex police van. The only part missing from the livery is the "Police" part and it doesn't have the lights. It used to be a Transit Connect and now it's a Mercedes Benz Vito, I'm guessing it's the same person. Not necessarily a Walt, I don't know what he does, it's possibly more a case of trying to wind people up on the road, a bit like wearers of "Polite" vests.

Had a moment recently with one of Devon and Cornwall's finest 4x4 Response Events Team. Or so the stickers on his L200 said.

He was trying to manoeuvre his single axle caravan onto his driveway and blocking the entire road. Now, whilst the manoeuvre needed some thought, it was far from difficult. Watching from a few yards down the road, I didn't realise he hadn't even got the van attached to the 4x4 lemon squash dispenser, it was all happening via a remote control motor mover.

Anyway after five minutes of him shouting at his son and his father who were 'helping' he directed me to drive past through a narrow gap. Taking my time, he starts shouting at me to hurry up. So I slowed even more which didn't help his blood pressure.

Seems he got said van on his drive, because it was there later and hasn't moved since.

Are these Walts? It hadn't previously crossed my mind that the village stazi who wait out their days trying to get the pub closed down so they can complain about how the pub has gone the same way as the post office they successfully murdered, collect speeding data to prove that their village should also be made a 20 so they can smash through it at 40 like all the other villages and the NSL parts in between, who run the church and talk about God yet insidiously plot against everyone else, it hadn't occurred that while they were waiting for the rapture, when they will be made village overlord by the invaders and get to send everyone they disapprove of to the death camps that they were walting.

I think they're supposed to wear those vests as part of the data collection rules. It's not because they want to. They want to wear the black of the Waffen SS and a chirpy little armband.

These people are why we've pushed retirement age out to 70 and ensured most people will still be paying a mortgage until they are too frail to be out in public. Having so many English ejected from employment at 55 where they were kept at desks and given tasks to do that kept them occupied and weaponised with spending money has wreaked carnage on civilised society. Enraged, bitter, passive aggressive and duplicitous jumped up scrotes released en masse to inflict misery and oppression upon everyone.

I never considered that they were Walts as I always felt they were the real deal, doing exactly what they wanted to do, being what they wanted to be and not pretending to be something else?
Deserves a bump. Top work.

Wonder if he is ex bomb disposal with the army and Felix badges on the boot. If not, the "reg plate" is perfect.

I probably shouldn't, but I've just had a look at Mr Minion's Twitter feed and he's really excelled himself this time. Any idea what rank he's awarded himself ?

Senior quality assurance officer by the looks of it. Possibly Emergency planning manager, or maybe resource or operations centre manager.
