People in the village where I lived in the mid 70s used to get paking tickets
endorsed " See me"
(signed) Len.

Len was the village bobby and would give a talk how he didn't want his
seargent to give him a b********g so please don't do it again or a migh have
to wake up and take action.

His method was quite effective in educating his flock. as re-offending was
low.

He used to regularly get into the village pub but always left before 10, so
he 'didn't know' about the lockin.

One evening the church choir (who practiced in the back room of the pub) were
still in the bar in full song at 1am. A hemet appeared at the window, The
choir departed rapidly in their cars driving behind him. He told us to be
quiet and then disappeared, and the regulars just carried on as normal.

That to me was good community policing. Can't see it happening these days.

A pub I used to visit regularly at weekends in the 1960s (Red Lion in
Dinas Mawddwy) before drinking-up time was introduced always got a visit
from the local PC about 5 minutes before closing time. Any drinks not
finished by closing time stayed unfinished as he didn't go away again
until the tables were cleared.

I used to visit the pub at Kylesku in the Scottish highlands, before the
bridge was built. There was a (free) ferry across the loch but it
stopped running at dusk. The local policeman was on the other side of
the loch and it was a 95-mile drive round via Lairg. The closing time
was "flexible".

When I worked part time in a pub (the merry go round, west brom) the police
were inside for the lock in.
There could be four or five panda cars on the car park.

Don't have that problem around here anymore, as the pubs are getting
very rapidly turned into blocks of flats.....

The week I spent in Tobermory on the Isle of Mull, the pub never closed. At
the time, there was only a policeman on the island one week in three. I assume
the week I was there wasn't one of them.


I'd guess he would be one of the people in the lockin, checking on the
beer quality, or serving it.

Up to 10 years ago (before I was married), I spent three or four
evenings a week in the local pub. We were regularly in there 'til half
past midnight and the police just ignored it - they certainly knew, as
every night they used the pub car park as a place for a couple of their
cars to sit waiting for a call!

Community policing nowadays means attending a few meetings but never
actually venturing out onto the streets.

A pub in a small Highland village I know always got a tip-off phone
call from the major town when a Duty Inspector was on his way. The pub
phoned the hotel, who called the other hostelries.
Funny, the premises were never found to be in breach of their
licences.
