I thought that was a good ad, Magenta. A lot more realistic than some others I've seen.

Wow!

Brilliant ad, shows the range of emotions that go with the job, one minute you're posing for a photo with tourists the next you're getting thumped by some nutter who's climbing on a fire engine at the head of a carnival procession (yes - that happened to me!!)

Immy was the one climbing on the fire engine and doing the thunking.

Wow, very moving, I'm and emotional cow right now...so of course that explains the tears the minute I saw the little girl crying and scared....awwww....

It is very well done, shows their dedication to their job and the community...I know I couldn't do it, and thankful for those who do, day in and day out....:-4

I went to Carnival when I was over there last year. Seriously not my cuppa tea but it was sweet of the guy to take me. I found the Bobbys there to be really nice when it came to taking photos. which I didn't expect because everyone was on alert at the time.

I was a Special Constable for 15 years (volunteer copper)

Well the firemen were kind of sexy and had big hoses

nah I'm not jealous was a firey myself with the CFA (country fire authority ) and a voluteer with the SES.(State Emergency Services) turned me right off fireys.

As a SC you have the same powers as regular PC's, the only thing I couldn't do was issue endorsable fixed penalty tickets (for traffic offenses which give points on your driving licence - 12 points and you lose the licence) and I couldn't drive with sirens and lights although they were introducing training for that to Specials when I left.
