They could indeed but I'd have to dust the cobwebs off them first :lol: :lol:

Pink hancuffs for a copper FFS!!!

Bondage ...... now that's a differnt thing altogether!!

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:


They're not all pink :shock:

On a serious note IMO I think this is one of the most stupid ideas I've ever heard. It'll just encourage them to drink the last of their state earned wages and then ask for money home, what are they thinking :?

Disappointing start to taxi scheme
Just two people took advantage of the free late night taxi service for drinkers in Watton during the first night of the scheme yesterday.

The police initiative, which is being trialled for three months, aims to curb anti-social behaviour by cutting down on the number of people walking home to places on the outskirts of the town after the pubs close.

The scheme hit the national headlines earlier this week and Sgt Lance Ogbourne, who was behind the idea, today blamed the national media's coverage of the initiative for the reason why so few people used the service last night.

He said: “Unfortunately the national media for their own reasons decided to blow it up out of proportion, put their own spin on it and identify it as “police providing taxis for drunks.” That was never the case. It is a community safety initiative to get people away from the town centre.”

He added: “Because of the label that the national press have put on it people felt uncomfortable about using the service. It was disappointing. It is a really good initiative. It is a shame that the media spin has discouraged people.”

Sgt Ogbourne said despite the disappointing start he was still confident that the service would reduce crime and disorder in Watton.

£350 for three months taxi fares for the p*ss heads of Watton? Your having a Giraffe Sergeant!!

That's about right Sergeant!!

Safety initiative? That's your spin on it Sergeant!! You're just transferring the hassle off the streets, where you have to deal with it, to inside a taxi or PHV & once the p*ss heads are off the streets & in a vehicle, you couldn't give a flying copulation!!

The drunks won't use it because they won't admit to being drunk; what drunk does? 'I'm not drunk, I'm just merry.'

How so :? I just admitted that I wouldn't have a problem using this service if it was available as I wouldn't have a problem admitting I'd had too much to drink. Seeing as this occurs after 2 glasses of wine it's hardly anything to be ashamed of really is it :lol:
