Hoping to have another win on the Premium Bonds this month. The draw results are published between the 4th and the 6th of the month, and I get lucky more often than not, but a big prize has proved elusive so far. No news is bad news in this business.

Well, didn't have long to wait, received the email notification from National Savings & Investments at around 1:10 am. Won £50 in the April draw. Fifty ferkin quid! Better than a smack in the chops I suppose, but still.....

I think that the people who want to join the police force should be largely exempt from joining

Didn't you know it's politically incorrect to refer to the 'Police Force'? You're supposed to say 'Police Service'. :nerdy:

Funny you should say that - I've often thought that although we might need a police force, I'm suspicious about anybody who wants to be a copper.

Some of them don't seem that bad, but others seem to have got something the matter with them.
