The town hall announced at a meeting yesterday that it will be appointing 3 municipal policemen to handle traffic violations, dumping and various other issues.

Thats great, Adriana. But we must remain a little skeptical until we see some action, mustn't we? :?:

Tell you what..I'd hate to be one of the new officers. Imagine what will have to put up with if they get a bit heavy on relatives or mates and perhaps just fellow islanders

Cynicism, Uncle Geoff - not at all like you ! :twisted:

Nepotism isn't so bad !

Whilst working in London year's ago, whilst working for an organisation who had big helmets and large truncheons ( and they weren't porn stars) I played in the same footie team as a guy who could "disappear" parking tickets ! Worked for me !

If Sue, Grabbitt and Runne read this, it's fiction - if they don't, trust me, it's not what you know. It's who you know !
