@Gilly1044 Is thee from Skipton lass….

[Roy Chestnutt @chestnutt_r]

@ColinSpenc4257 yep but you had to cover the front display with a cushion overnight to deter the burglars !

@peegroni @history99917180 Some kids found a rusty WW2 hand grenade which I carried in a borrowed red fire bucket, the Sgt was a crap driver and it was swinging and banging against the seat. Left it in the ‘tyres’. Bomb disposal blew it up as it was too unstable, one of my seven lives lost***

@history99917180 Gareth - When i joined in 1972 we had some real peasouper's in Trafford Park, full shift walking your beat ugh

@Mesouk From the initial traumatic diagnosis of this incurable disease leaving you in a void your team step in with reassurance, advice and guidance. Rest assured you are well thought off by our community of patients and their carers .

@CopMoustache Handed mine to a 17yr old in personel at HQ and then was escorted out of the building! In the endgame you are just a number....

@MikeWard2911 @history99917180 Two players collided, head injuries, one stretchered off accounts for the time

@UKCopHumour Great post and will not be forgotten by either of you. My dad’s last day of service Oldham Football Club - he was match commander, I was a Sgt covering . At the match briefing under the stands he called me forward to stand by his side, simple gesture but very profound.

@dontforgetchaos The job is all consuming but there is life outside of the uniform, be true to your yourself, take care and best wishes going forward.

@JamJarOppo Lancashires had a huge poachers pocket inside. As a young sprog on nights the Inspector called me for a RV and kept me chatting for over 30 minutes, as he left he said “your chips will be cold by now let that be a lesson use the back door of the chippy next time” 🤨

@history99917180 Weren’t we all fresh faced on our class photos, most of us only 19, but at least we had 13 weeks at training school, then 2 years probationary to hone our skills - unlike new copper’ these days trained by colleagues still learning the ropes themselves

[Roy Chestnutt @chestnutt_r]

@terrierowner @ColostomyUK Don’t worry Stoma nurses ‘rock’ great characters and a sense of humour.

@Mesouk Please take this opportunity to chat with other carers, it’s a horrendous terminal disease, those of us that live with the sufferers need to offload to sympathetic listeners , you are not alone (Roy a carer for 18 months)

[Roy Chestnutt @chestnutt_r]

@history99917180 Done a few pieces to camera it’s funny how they regurgitate and cut together previous interviews to fit another narrative ….

[Roy Chestnutt @chestnutt_r]

@history99917180 I thought it was compulsory when you live in single men’s quarters back in the day, impossible not to bend to peer pressure…..

@history99917180 Referred to as Bongo’s in GMP when it rained - Boots on not going out

@chinnychick Heard you on GB radio, you really nailed it on the importance of repatriation of the wounded and the fallen from the battlefield. Thank you for the insight, best wishes for your future keeping the demons at bay.

[Roy Chestnutt @chestnutt_r]

@meso_sheffield @ESRC @Mesouk @ARNS_UK @ild_inn @UniShefEngage @ShefSNM @LCN_UK @AsbestosForum At first was disappointed due to the technical difficulties but I urge and encourage patients and carers to watch a very informative presentation - enlightening thank you

@sam_meso @BasingstokePmi @Mesouk @meso_sheffield @Team_HASAG @PSOGI_EC My wife felt distraught coping with ‘meso’. Through the support groups online she found confidence realising other people we’re going through the same symptoms and anxiety. Ironic to think listening to others is a boost, a tonic and reassurance you are not alone.
