I remember the first night that Z Cars was shown on TV, I had a choice
of staying home to watch the new series or meeting the
girl-friend-de-jour. Z Cars didn't win that one, but the following
furore in the papers about how the police were depicted (wife-beating,
etc) publicized the series no end, and I swapped evenings so I could see
future episodes. Lancashire Police withdrew their co-operation in
protest at the coverage.

A few years later I had cause to be grateful for the aid of a Z car.
Heading south on the M6 somewhere south of Preston my 348cc Velocette
had a front-wheel puncture, and I didn't have the kit needed to repair
it. Nonetheless, while I was taking the wheel out and pondering my next
steps, a Z car pulled up and one of the officers asked what the matter
was, and went on to say that they were on a call but would be back in 30
minutes or so.

I sat in the warm sunshine watching the traffic go by, until the
returning Z car pulled up opposite on the hard shoulder of the
northbound carriageway. One officer ran across to the median, and called
me across. Picking up my wheel and tools, I legged it over both
carriageways, dumped the wheel, etc in the boot of the Zodiac, and we
sped off at well over the ton, until they turned off and dropped me at a
garage close by the motorway.

I think I was generously given a repair kit, and anyway made short work
of the job, thumbing a lift back to my waiting Velo and the rest of the
200-mile journey home. Next day was a week day, so leaving the lab in
the evening I filled up at a nearby garage, and I'd just pulled away
into the traffic when the front inner tube exploded leaving me with very
little control of the machine. Being a skilled biker I didn't fall off
and so spill petrol or suffer any injuries and brought the machine to a
halt. I had to get buses and a train to get home.

I had a spare tube at home so dad gave me lift back to my machine. I
did the business and was soon back on the road. Later examination of the
offending tyre showed a tiny manufacturing defect that when in use was
slowly abrading a very small area in the inner tube, which as a result
had finally let go in a big way - fortunately at low speed rather than
those of the motorway.

I'm still grateful to those two Z-car officers for their help and
assistance.

Which is why we always check the casing and rim carefully when replacing
a tube, and carry a spare tube or two alongside the puncture kit.

Hitching (unsuccessfully) somewhere near Dartford about 2:00 AM my GF
and I attracted the interest of a police patrol - they questioned us
and then (having decided we weren't up to no good) gave us a lift most
of the way to Dover, which I thought was jolly decent of them.

After that I always carried a spare (unpatched) front tube.

There was something rather reminiscent of this on the TV last night
showing drug raids in Wales I think . In one scene they burned the door
with what looked like an industrial laser top to bottom near the lock
and pushed what remained open.

"the door comes off its hinges with brutal
force at about 4 am, and your house is filled with shouting robots
dressed in psychologically-disturbing agressive-looking clothing and
totally impervious to anything you might say, and completely
indifferent to you and any partner being stark naked"

This makes Gareth's encounter look like a cosy chat with PC Dixon,.

Most people tend not to be hostile towards the police. They rarely
encounter them. Conversely, those who have some kind of history with the
police / criminal record tend to be very vocal in their criticism. The
same is true of employment. Those who enjoyed their work/ career, dont go
on to criticise former managers/colleagues etc .

The tyre that failed was the one that came with the machine, and there
had been no problems with it until the M6 incident. I guess the previous
owner had only used the Velo for short journeys. It would seem like a
summer day and a long motorway journey were too much, and the tube was
compromised by this.

The day after, I went searching for the cause, which proved difficult to
find, and it certainly never showed with the fingers test or a casual
visual inspection - it wasn't a case of a 'sharp bit' being easy to
find, but more of a very small (1 mm?) slightly roughened patch that was
hard to find.

Some 60 years after first taking to the road I still ride a bike, and
must have been very lucky as I can only recall three punctures in that

That's simply untrue. I, and many colleagues I know, enjoyed my work
but we, regretfully, rather often had to criticise management.

One wonders why former Project Manager Reay appears so sensitive on the
issue of the criticism of management.

There was something rather reminiscent of this on the TV last night
showing drug raids in Wales I think . In one scene they burned the door
with what looked like an industrial laser top to bottom near the lock and
pushed what remained open.

Fark, bit risky if someone is standing behind
the door looking at the cutting happening.

In spades if its a little kid or even a dog etc.

"the door comes off its hinges with brutal
force at about 4 am, and your house is filled with shouting robots
dressed in psychologically-disturbing agressive-looking clothing and
totally impervious to anything you might say, and completely
indifferent to you and any partner being stark naked"

This makes Gareth's encounter look like a cosy chat with PC Dixon,.

I'm guessing they rang the door bell first or popped a card through the
letter box. Bit of a bummer if they got the wrong address as has
happened.

Not going to work with a little kid or a dog.

Going to be interesting to see how long till they blind someone.

Yeah, specially if they are away on holiday etc and thats
why they didnt answer the door.

Go talk to the Welsh police, Mr Know-it-all. I'm sure THEY, unlike the
people on Usenet, will appreciate your input! tsk

IME, incompetent management was a major cause of employee
dissatisfaction.
