The thought of doing my London rounds today, in full NBC did cross my mind, not cos I’m bovered, cos it would be hilarious to be on the tube in full NBC, until I collapsed of heat exhaustion.
Good man. Get it done. It's got to be 3 Romeo or nothing though - no point in any half measures. and definitely try walking down Whitehall past Downing Street in full rig, to get yourself on the news... I've definitely got my old S6 somewhere. And possibly an older training NBC suit. Tony in the stores had no interest in taking back my old 1157 except for my Kevlar, lid and vest. Everything else is in a Bergen (or three) in the garage and for nearly 8 years I've been meaning to sell it or give it all away. Maybe it'll "come in handy" after all???

There can't be many more comments / criticism / insults about these selfless but possibly misguided individuals. Or maybe this thread is on permanent 'repeat', to get a continuous 24/7 commentary.
Some of the posts are now gettng tiresome, How about a Corona- style, self induced moratorium?

We were expected to attend once a year for a medical etc, and there was supposed to be a payment. I went to the first one and the first thing they told me that the payment was stopped. I never went back!

Some is still enjoy it. You free not to come in herw. You could self-isolate from this thread. There can't be many more comments / criticism / insults about these selfless but possibly misguided individuals. Or maybe this thread is on permanent 'repeat', to get a continuous 24/7 commentary.

How long till we get a video of a "civilian" trying to police the lockdown with their Hi Viz and Landy
Yes! Lockdown Patrol - reporting all non-essentail people on the roads and footpaths?Can I suggest the pointless contraction to "Non-Ess" to cut down radio chatter to the minimum?

The NHS is looking for volunteers, including patient transport service to help with COVID-19
All those years with one eye on the phone have finally paid off.

But they won't actually do it, they'll be swanning about trying to get blue lights on their cars and take charge of everything, before going off in a huff...All those years with one eye on the phone have finally paid off.

When I heard about this I thought of this thread, and my first post which started it.All those years with one eye on the phone have finally paid off.

They'll all be there, brandishing multiple lanyards, hoping to pick up some more official documents. Captain Mainwearings assuming they control things when they don't. Stickered-up old Discoveries a plenty. Comments of "We really should be using blue lights" from the ranks of hi-fi's wearing bearded beer-bellied men.
There'll be dreams of road blocks. Blue-lighting medics. Callsigns issued, and used correctly. Now's the time to fit that LED light bar lads.
All the while, quiet, socially conscious dedicated people step-up and just get on with it.

Part of the ongoing discussion is how they aren’t really that “selfless” though.A massive part of their agenda appears to be talking themselves up, seeking attention and generally making themselves out to be far more useful, important and official that they actually are.
