It's nice to know in times of trouble...
Posted: Mon Aug 01, 2005 9:32 am...the great British bobby still has time to hold a bit of tape for 4 hours!
WE went to the Tall Ships event last Wednesday, and I think they had more people there than they were exepecting as the footbridge from one side of the Tyne to the other was swamped with people.
The solution was to 'corale' the punters (a bit like they do at the theme park rides) to make the que a bit more orderly (this is Britain after all!).
Rather than getting some bollards to put the tape around, this copper stood in the same place holding the end of the tape for nigh on 4 hours!.
It's not like he had anything better to do!
