RANT

Actually NR, a load of that is rubbish. They attend a lot on the list you reckon they don't. I know from either personal experiences or experiences of friends & family. And some parts of northumbria are a lot more rural than Durham IMO.

You were all for moving to the sticks last time you were here, even actively encouraging people to do the same & knocking those (me included) who choose not to. Now you're complaining because the police are cutting back on less populated places in favour of more populated places in an effort to best spend the limited resources they have.

There's an old saying. You can't have your cake & eat it. I think it applies to this situation perfectly.

However, just to put a different angle on it. I'd be quite happy if I never have to see or deal with another copper again until the day they close the lid on my box. Sadly this won't be the case as I need to contact them about my shotgun & firearms licences, which will probably involve another home visit.
