truman Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Police are shipped in because football games that create peaks of work don't happen at the same time throughout the country or nearby counties. ). I thought most football games happened on Saturday afternoon.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*_ash_* Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 I thought most football games happened on Saturday afternoon.. (the obvious example is that two clubs close to each other don't play at the same times - due to this) - I would also reckon that the policing of football matches has evolved together over a long period of time. If I invented a new sport now, and it took off to levels of football crowds, and I decided I wanted to play all games on Saturday nights, I bet I couldn't get any license to run it. Much like when I worked in a night club, I was told and knew that I would have to work most weekends. I'd guess that requests for weekends off for police or ambulance has to be made quite early, and most probably quite restricted number wise.

Daven Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 My OH recently had what could have been serious injuries after he came off his motorbike when trying to avoid a vehicle that pulled out of a side road in front of him. The emergency services were called - the police arrived first closely followed by the ambulance service within a short space of time. He was extremely lucky to sustain severe bruising only but it could have been so much worse. Thank you to all those who attended promptly and with great professionalism. We really do have emergency services to be proud of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leah-Lacie Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 My sister got spiked in town last week, in a bar on Carver Street. She collapsed and was completely unconscious. Someone called 999, and the bouncers laid her on the floor in the smoking area. A paramedic turned up in a car, and checked her over, but he wasn't allowed to actually move her, so he called an ambulance. He stayed with her and kept her 'comfortable' on the floor, in the freezing cold and rain, whilst people were stepping over her to go for a cigarette. The ambulance arrived 3 hours later. The paramedic rang my mum using my sisters phone, and my mum went to hospital to meet them there and she was there 2 and a half hours before my sister arrived. ---------- Post added 07-10-2015 at 23:58 ---------- I'm not sure why anyone would consider a woman in labour warranted a 999 call unless the babies head was visible I rang an ambulance the last time I was in labour, because after a call to Jessops, they wouldn't listen to the fact that I had had 3 children already, the longest (first) labour being 4 hours, and the last one only being 40 minutes, and she told me she would send me a paramedic in 4 hours. A paramedic arrived shortly after the 999 call and radioed for an ambulance, who arrived about 20 minutes later, just as my daughter was being born. My midwife was dispatched from High Green (to Norton Lees) and arrived 90 minutes too late Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
