“Is that shocking or what?”

It all depends on the situation…after I finish my set of nights I,m that knackered that I would crawl into my bed even if it contained an escaped, rabid, demented polar bear suffering with infectious diahorrea. And it had fleas…

Not so. Here is a story related to me some years ago whilst I was working on a project for a national magazine. I interviewed a retired police officer who, toward the end of his career in the sixties, was tasked as a plan drawer for Scenes of Crime. He was called out to plot a room in a doss house used by immigrant shift workers, where a ‘hot bed’ arrangement for sleeping was in use. ie, as one shift left the dorm which consisted of half a dozen tightly crammed beds to go to work, the previous shift moved in to sleep. There had been an argument between the foreign landlord and a tenant resulting in the tenant being stabbed to death. Prior to his demise he had thrashed out his death throws around the cramped room leaving a very gory scene. As the police measured and recorded, the shift changed, with a handful of tired and unshockable workers trying to climb into the bloodstained beds without turning a hair as to the condition of the room. Is that shocking or what?

During one of her fits I caught her as she fell (under procedure I know thats wrong) and broke a shower door (bathroom was so small she could have seriously hurt herself). The ambulance service was called out, and the lass was fine. The day after I was called in the office by the manager (who had missed all the excitement) to be shouted at over breaking the shower door and not calling maintenance immediately! Cue confusion from me as there were two bathrooms in the house, maintenance had been called the morning before my manager came in, and she never even enquired as to the health of the lass.

Luckily for him you were either too shocked, or didnt fancy having to treat him, to have bounced his requested tin off of his skull.

I also await your blog, in due course, on attending a totally spurious call to a man you vaguely recognise but cant place at the time (beans numpty) who feels it appropriate to scream and bawl about how he pays your wages and how it is his right to demand a treble-9 response.

This woman demanded jelly babies and when a colleague threw some at her in total disgust she commenteded not those I want the ones next to them…. she was lucky not to get knocked out by the very p***ed off Manageress.

Over the five years there were lots of examples of downright callousness

Luckily I havn’t come across anyone as ignorant as that yet, although I’m sure it is only a matter on time? Are we allowed to politely tell them their in the wrong or not?

Well let’s hope the beans give the shopper all the ‘wind’ he will ever need.
Nice work, you and your crew-mate; and a big pat on the back to supermarket staff, who obviously know more than which on aisle the bean are on!
(I don’t suppose they know the outcome and just what a difference they helped to make.)
