Still alive over here. Randomly logged on for the first time in years... funny to see some of the old names still active. hope you’re all doing well. edit- just checked and 2017 was the last time I commented.

That's not saying too much, though the only place I've been to in Kettering in the Police social club so haven't got much to compare them. I stick to the nicer bits of Northants :)

Is there anything in Thrapston other than distribution centres? :)

I've not read any Koontz for a long time - didn't really get into him. Can you reverse the colours on a Kindle to have white text and a black background? Not sure if that's possible, but might help if it can.

Just found this post. Glad to see it's still up here. I've listened to a load of audio books recently due to doing a lot of driving. I can strongly recommend: Columbus Day - Craig Alanson The Cuckoo's Calling (and others in the series) - Robert Galbraith/JK American Gods - Neil Gaiman Tom...

Hi Harassment, As much as I like Ivan's suggestion, the first thing you should be doing is contacting the police as mentioned by fbg on the first reply. Once it has been reported you'll get a crime reference number. Log all further incident using this number and the police will see that there...

Firstly, sit down and make a list of your high risk areas. What is costing your business the most each year and where is the risk greatest? As well as high risk stock on the sales floor, you'll also need to consider cash office, till points, loading bays/goods in & storage areas etc. Look...

Only once Ivan?

Is that so they can't finger print you? Well done. Always hate waiting to hear how it went. I changed company recently and thought thought the interviews went terribly, only to get positive feed back and offered the position. I've never been finger printed for a job before and it's not...

Good luck. Don't forget to talk about working with sales teams and other departments within the unit to promote a culture of LP. Make sure you have a good understanding of the sales function and how you can work with them. Working well with them means you can reduce the impact on the sites...

Nice to see this thread bumped up again. Not read a book in quite a while as time has been very short for the last few months, but always have audio books on the go in the car. Recently I've been through: Complete stories of Sherlock Holmes (50hrs +) American Gods by Neil Gaiman (very very...

HarryVon beat me to it, but I was about to suggest Crossfit. I've not tried it myself, but have done a bit of reading on it recently and know some people who swear by it (and during it by all accounts).

I'd echo what Heno says about finding something you enjoy. I used to be in a similar boat to you and just found it really boring, but now I've got a goal I've no problem finding the motivation. My goal is obstacle racing (OCR). I was asked by a friend to do Tough Mudder to raise money for a...

I agree with you both. I've stood next to the newbies in full uniform before and have not been noticed, but your more alert professional will use whatever they can to their advantage. I remember when I was in Brighton, a new fashion retailer opened up opposite my site. I went for a coffee...

What was your brief/AI for the store? Do they want you to make lots of arrests, or are they looking to reduce the loss in store? I'd suggest that if your AIs are wanting you to get as many arrests as possible, you're set up to fail and whoever wrote them has set unrealistic targets for the...
