I know the kings Lynn police/ fire/ ambulance services would appreciate this. I know how generous our community is. Share the love and keep hydrated in this hot weather!!
🚨 Every year we try and kick off a campaign - as a tiny way of being able to show some appreciation for those boys and girls who put their uniform and kit on every day - despite the blistering heat - to keep us safe from harm. 🚨
A few observations if you CHOOSE to get involved:
1) We'd be VERY surprised if any PSD/DPS took issue with this. A drink isn't and shouldn't be regarded as a "gratuity" - and common sense should prevail. 🚱
2) If you offer, most cops will politely decline. It's not their fault. They're programmed that way. However, if you present them with a drink that you've bought for them, then they're far more likely to accept. 🥳
3) Please don't be offended if they do decline. Some will, some won't. 🤷🏻♂️
4) You should know that there's NOTHING nicer in a Bobby's working day - than someone unexpectedly taking a few seconds to say "thank you!" 🥰
5) Yes, it extends to bottles too. The hashtag just wasn't as catchy. 🍼
6) Yes, it extends to other emergency services - or in fact ANYONE you see, doing a job and stuck out in the sun all day. 🚑🚒
7) Yes, we know our Army slog it out in deserts all around the world. Unfortunately, most of us can't pop over there to . (It's not a p*ssing contest.) 😜 They should've joined the RAF and then they'd have air conditioning. 💂
8) Yes, those are bottles, but doesn't have the same ring.
Dear Cops,
Don't be daft. No-one is getting sacked if you're given a drink by a stranger on one of the hottest days of the year. It's basic welfare.
Stay safe (and hydrated) out there!
Take part, or don't take part, but we welcome your pics and stories if you can get a smile on any faces!
REMEMBER: make the world go round! 🌍
