15th September 1975, I joined the Police service and started my first day of training. 41 years ago today.
I remember it like it was yesterday and I am still in touch with a few who joined the same day as me (who went onto much higher ranks I hasten to add), but makes you wonder where all the time has gone.
Different service now to the one I joined though.
I feel really old

It is better to arrive 30 seconds late in this world than 30 years early in the next
I won't say congratulations then 
I have almost 3 years to go to celebrate 40 years of self employment (1st August 1979)
But I'll not get there, I will be retired no later than 19th September 2017, I can't come quickly enough LOL and if the sale of the business goes through then it will be this year

I hate it when people ask if you have a bathroom, I want to say "No we pee in the garden"
