          Happy to help Ed!

          Our Boys in Blue have had to call for help from the Lincolnshire populace by setting up the “Lincs Alert” scheme and depending upon volunteers such as me, to broadcast warnings. I set up and printout stuff that I think us Oldpharts here should know about. The cuts have badly affected our county policing. Urban-dwelling politicians have no idea what it means to police the second largest English county, with continually reducing numbers of officers. The population is widely scattered across villages many miles apart and it can take a couple of hours to get to a scene. That is, if officers get the right location details given to them.

          Same applies to ambulances. There are a lot of trained, but voluntary, services working with emergency services in our county.

            Thanks Bob. May I suggest that numbers are easier to check if they are in numerical order.

              Nice one, Wasbit! I had not considered that, thanks.
