Collator's office, that takes me back. We had a collator and collator's clerk and that turned into the Intelligence Unit with masses of staff and analysts with fancy software on their computers!

I remember when there was still a card index! And the local beat bobby rode around on a bicycle. It's no good, I really must get out more.....

That was the forerunner to what in modern parlance is "community policing" where they hop in the car, drive along as quick as they can and head off back to their desks.

The collator had the card index and he knew everything in his head, didn't need computers to cross reference! Don't remember the beat bobbies on bicycles, must be a little before my time.

The imbecile which is Sally Jacks is reading out the 'top notes' of the knockoff scent as 'Litchi', as spelt - without realising that it was one of the work experience kiddies in the PRC misspelling 'lychee' on the character generator. She really doesn't help herself, does she?

Is she winking at the camera and saying 'this is exactly the same perfume as the one you can buy at 10 times the price, only difference is this one doesn't have the expensive label' wink wink nudge nudge say no more.

You can just imagine the field day pervy Pete would have with this product, or Peter V caressing and squeezing it as only he can ...

Does it have a HEPA filter???

Peter has sold that product many times, it’s to do with that Collagen gloop

Not IW related, But more of a health update.

My Mental Health and Sleep has not got any better, If anything worse, seeing a Doctor next Monday which may lead to me having to go somewhere for Therapy.

Elevate this coat with a hoodie and look like the kardashians - err no thanks.
I’ve just picked up all the designer names she dropped too

A quick Google tells us the risk is very low. However an IW presenter says the exact opposite of the FACTS.

Jeremy's 'friend' was also recently a victim of RFID fraud and lost thousands of pounds apparently.

It funny how all of the Ideal World presenters know "someone" who has been diddled but no-one else has, isn't it?

Or how they always get stopped and asked about the watch they're wearing, the jacket they're wearing, the trainers they're wearing, the aftershave/perfume they're wearing, the bag they're carrying ...

Mind you I experienced exactly this in Asda the other day. It ended up with a dozen people chasing me around the cakes section shouting 'tell us where you got your trainers???' with me shouting back 'they're Fila, cost me £30 about 8 years ago!!!' trying to grab some doughnuts as I ran cause I couldn't stop

We used to get a Force Collator’s bulletin (monthly, I think) in the BTP when I was a ‘child’ police officer in the early 1980s.

She means Bert Kardashian of Burnley. The English branch of the family with no money.

I can empathise. Was in Asda only yesterday with my wife. Got all the IW stuff on,you know the fragrance,trainers,watches etc and someone shouted “Where’d you get that bag!?”….
Well,I wasn’t carrying a bag..
Still scratching my head
