I don't. He was a disgusting racist misogynistic old man once you scratched the surface.

A good assessment, pub bore crossed with stereotypical London cabbie. Better off without.

Frank?! A taxi driver?


He never mentioned it.

I'm not aware those qualities are a prerequisite for being a HETO. Your question would be better aimed at Boss Hogg, assuming of course he's not parked on one of those raised areas by the hard shoulder swigging tea and going through his collection of single discarded trainers looking for a matching pair.

They're not and I'm not.

Shouldn't they be NHTO now ?

Anybody got any info on some real Walt’s we’ve gone off topic a bit. I like to think if BH and his mates can help a stranded motorist in their hour of need whilst freeing up other services then that’s a good thing. Don’t get me started on PCSO’s though.

No idea. I don't collect single trainers from ditches.

Not much happening at the moment, weather is relatively calm but it’s school fete season soon so all sorts of car park marshal walting to take place….

Someone who posted every detail of his boring tawdry sad little life on here in an attempt to sound big. He couldn't choose between being an adopted Yank and a salt-of-the-earth South-Londoner.
Glad he's no longer here.

That relates to the use of the word paramedic in a company name. There’s no specific offence of impersonating a paramedic as there is for impersonating a police officer. I’m pretty confident the rather extensive contact I’ve had with our legal services department, CPS lawyers, HCPC, CQC and the local NHS ambulance trust would have identified if there was.

Not sure if this has been answered yet.....

This is the relevant legislation https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2002/254/artic...

Basically it covers all professionally registered occupations (registered with a regulatory body for the purpose of being able to practice). All professions regulated by the HCPC, GPhC, NMC etc

Did you fancy your own framed George Cross but felt left out that it was only for NHS workers? Fear not there is a (made up) Keyworkers and Caregivers award just for you….

That really is weird. I don't see the point of medals that you get for turning up for work, such as the Queens Jubilee Medal, or long service medals, but that is in a different category altogether.

Going into a Covid infested hospital every day for best part of a year is arguably more dangerous than 5 years of desk work in the Adjutant Generals Corps to qualify for shiny shiny.

That's true enough, and many of my former colleagues kept their pharmacies open right through the past couple of years despite the risks to themselves and their staff, and the lack of much in the way of protection. Personally I don't know any who'd want a medal for it. Takes all sorts

Surely the Jubilee celebrations will be a “target rich environment”?

There’s going to be a bunting emergency somewhere. Best keep your eye open.

Cannot remember if i have already asked this on here,9 but no doubt some ned will turn up the post from seven years back to prove it!!) so apologies if i have.

There are no laws or rules, he can wear what he wishes how he wishes. Obviously no one is going to mistake a Cub for a veteran.

However, the medals of relatives are by convention worn on the right side to minimise the risk of confusion with medals awarded to the person.
