Yeah the Police have got common sense and better things to do.
Aye, it does make me wonder where the Met found the extra bodies they’ve put out on the beat of late (a temporary PR measure?) - in a bid to try and re-assure the public they still exist - meanwhile the Home Secretary still denies rising crime is linked to Police cuts still… (21,000 officers in 7 years)
Amber Rudd says police cuts not to blame for violent crime rise

and am sure they’ll be selling lots of gold dice soon too for hanging on car mirrors…Man, I’ll hang a pair from my mirror if they make them. I’ve been tempted by some of the sets on Etsy, but figured I’d wait for the licensed version.
Earlier this year, I looked into a personalized license plate (auto) but with only 7 digits, the obvious versions of Stormtrooper were already taken (my car is predominately white with some black areas). I toyed with a few versions that were still available with numbers in place of a letter or two, but decided no.
Nice one - just seen a few on etsy - decently priced (I thought they’d have pushed the prices up a bit more!)
A mate has an Renault Twizy electric car - a lot of fun and surprisingly nippy - in white and black. I’m in the midst of trying to persuade him to ‘stormtrooper’ / ‘Star Wars’ it up a little… 😃

Oojasons signature is too tall now with the new moderators badge styling.
It has been changed mate - a quick refresh should do the trick 😃
still looks crazy tall on mobile
It does a bit - when we raise funds for poita’s OOT project then I’ll remove that part of the sig 😉
(Honestly - sorry about that mate. Perhaps a request for a ‘No Signature’ option for mobiles could be made to Jay?)

Switchblades (or flick-knives as they are more referred to over here) have been outlawed over here for a long while now - since I was a kid, I think.
And parts of the UK does seem to be undergoing some sort of knife-carrying trend at the moment - especially amongst teenagers.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-birmingham-42861064
Tradesmen (or women) - or anyone with a good reason to be carrying a knife or blade (butcher, chef, carpenter, fisherman, even an IT engineer - got to cut those cables! etc) will be okay to go about their usual business.
Some overzealous copper may make things a little awkward - though common sense usually prevails on these things - especially when a more experienced officer or Sgt becomes involved.
On occasion when I’ve been asked about what I’m carrying in my IT bag it’s more a case of ‘be careful it doesn’t get nicked’ - or that ‘any blades are hidden away from kids or prying eyes’ or ‘wrap it up so you don’t cut yourself’ etc.
Whether these changes will make a difference? I don’t know - likely not for some already on a wrong path. I hope it does make a difference - and at least it seems to be a genuine attempt to curtail it, though it would be welcome if the Govt actually addressed the causes and issues surrounding this.

^ warned for not providing a source 😉
I do try and credit pics or sources of articles when I can - though sometimes this eludes me as I’m often doing a few things at once, or just plain forget.
If in doubt as to where you can find the source of a photo / picture etc online… open up https://images.google.com/ and drag the picture onto the search bar and google usually finds it - or similar pieces of art etc.
(and most of my stuff comes in this thread from imgur - that’s https://imgur.com/ by the way 😉)

Sweet info & links ^…^ - nice one 😃
I’ve add this thread to the Index Thread pinned at the top of this section.
WilliaRob’s ‘Disney brings back laserdisc sized packaging’ thread may also be of interest for anyone wishing to do something similar.
It’d be interesting to find out how much a local independent printer would charge for something like this (and to benefit from their expertise and know-how too etc)
Jedit: these may look pretty neat as a base/template/ideas for some Star Wars laserdisc/vinyl-sized covers…
