I have now seen everything.
On Wednesday morning ( forgive delay ) a white transit van slid passed me sideways while trying to ascend our hill with one hand on the steering wheel and the other holding a phone to his ear .
I stood there in abject amazement at this stupidity , then it dawned on me why you never see a policeman ........They are all hiding
Police cant be everywhere my friend, wish they were but they arnt, and i expect there not hiding just doing paperwork and they havent got the best cars to go around in the snow in. Newbury police station covers a vast area not just newbury. plus if people cant get into work then that affects police precence aswell.
