It's got nothing to do with 'calling it a draw', and it's not about who has the most dangerous or underpaid job it's about being realistic and the realistic person can see that coppers have been having it good for a long time.

I agree this has been a very interesting thread and my apologies to the OP for continuing off topic.  As I said feel free to split it and we'll carry it on elsewhere.

Nice mate, you even managed to criticise my apology and still managed to tell me I'm over paid once again. Well done sir. You are clearly the bigger man.

I hold my hands up, really can't be arsed defending my job anymore to someone who knows jack about. By all means split it and you can 'debate' it with somebody else.

Now you see I thought we were having a friendly and reasoned debate about why so many coppers feel hard done by.  I might know a little more than 'jack sh*t' about a Police Officer's career and certainly enough to offer my opinion on whether a Soldier should be paid a realistic amount for his loyalty and commitment versus a copper earning big bucks in overtime.

I don't think I have once been derogatory to Police Officers and in general I have the utmost respect for them, you simply appeared to get very defensive when presented with some facts that didn't follow your ideals.

Stu, can't we just call this a day now? I'm sorry if I've been defensive, abrupt, argumentative or whatever you think I've been. I spend enough time at work arguing with people and come on here for some light hearted banter and to talk about motors, not my job OR your job.

I feel how I do and visa versa and no amount of forum input will change that. I just think its an endless debate which clearly has me wound up.........woo'sar!

And because I just can't resist, I'm not admitting I am wrong and your right

A healthy debate is good.   

Of course I'm right    You're in denial. 

[Boothy]

A debate is good now and again but not when its just perpetual like this would be.

Oh, and let ne know if you come drinking around Huddersfield so that I can ticket your car and put you in.the cells for the night

Whether that be a joke or not...  its no wonder the police get a bad rep. Above the law are we?

[vRStu]

Surely that would be an abuse of the powers bestowed on you, I can't imagine you'd do that.

You never know I may make a complaint and then you'd go to jail and get bummed by all those nasty criminals that hate all of you.

Are you taking the pith lad! It's a JOKE! A JOKE I SAY!

I'm not above the law.....I AM THE LAW!

[vRStu]

Ahh I get it.  You want to arrest me half hour before you go off shift so that you can have 4 hours overtime while you process me   

[Boothy]

I've gotta make 66k somehow!
