As they always say
"Don't try that at home"
(I mean finding out next time you see a Nun)

Wireless:
Looks like real nuns to me, just unusual stools they are sitting on, amazed they decided to sit there at all.

Lord Shagg-Pyle:
In my professional capacity I will always stop and offer assistance, although there are strict guidleines in my Force about helping motorists due to possible litigation. If you bear in mind that officialy I am not allowed to change a wheel or bulb on a patrol car due to health and safety rules, as I am not qualified. :shock:
When in my own wagon, I'll stop and offer help, as I hope that if I was in the same situation, someone would do the same for me.
I recall one time when I was on patrol, I found a Ford Sierra 4x4 stuck on the beach. The driver had thought that as it said 4x4 on it he could do what an off roader could do.
I was in a Job Landy, and he begged me to pull him out as the AA had said it would cost him £150 to recover him as he was not on a road.
I got him to sign my pocket book to say he would not hold me or the Force liable if any damage was caused. He did so and I linked the 90 to the towbar on his Sierra and pulled it out.
The problem came when he tried to open the door. The Sierra had been in a bad prang and not repaired properly. As a result of the tow, it had stretched. What a bummer!

Range Rover Blues:
TBH if it's not someone I know then I'll just look to see if they are ok, if they're up and walking then it's none of my business.  I'm not insured to recover other people's cars and given that you expose yourelf to being sued if you damage it then I reckon anyone who doesn't have breakdown insurance is a fool and it's not my problem.

I do make exceptions but I find that the attitude I get back isn't justified and people are seldom that grateful to me.
