Sad comment really

:biggrin:

What strikes me is we have a TV channel 10. It is owned by NBC. The window above the door sorta resembles the NBC peacock emblem thingy.

 

The world is a sad commentary

 

OOoh! What a great shot, holding so much truth!

I love it!

 

Great picture. Timeless.

But is there any special significance to number 10? am I missing a reference because I'm too young?? or is it simply that public photography is hard now in London??

 

Number 10, Downing Street................the residence of England's Prime Minister.

 

ha. I feel stupid now :redface: :redface:

 

Not stupid. Ya just didn't know. There are sure a lot of things I don't know that other's do!:biggrin:

 

Actually, just to be picky, Tony Blair lives in the flat above Numbers 11 and 12, these have more room for his family. But yes number 10 has been the traditional London residence for the PM.

:redface: SEE!!!!! I tol ya I didn't know everything!:biggrin:

 

Thanks for all the info guys. One can learn something everyday!

 

Not all of it useful though...:redface:

 

Nice shot - the uniforms the two police officers are wearing take me back too - stab vests, short jackets etc are the norm these days.

 

Ray, you may be a little surprised to hear this............. but......... I've done that exact job at that exact location!!!!!!!!!!      

I was a serving ploice officer with the Metropolitan Police in London for 14 years from 1987 till 2001............. and stood on that doorstep a few times!!!!!!!!!!!!!!      


Scary eh!!!!!!!!!!!!! :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:

By the way........... great shot!

[/QUOTE]Not surprised at all! I remember you mentioning on another post that you had worked for the London Metropolitan Police. Why did you transfer North? To get closer to Scotland? And thanks again for looking and commenting Graeme![/QUOTE]


My other half was a barrister in London and got offered a high paying job in York working as a government lawyer.......... always visiting the Home Office in London and all that high powered stuff.

So I resigned from the Met and looked after my two boys full time for 4 1/2 years......... now working for North Yorkshire police but as a Police Community Support Officer, same uniform etc......... basically I have slightly less powers than I used to have........... but still work the way I did!

So I'm always getting told off by the Inspectors......... but they turn a blind eye due to my previous experience! :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:

Trying to get a little photography business up and running......... I'd rather do that and work for myself........... Di makes enough money so..........

Here's hoping!  

Here's a little something to make you smile! :smile: :smile: :smile:

This is me guarding the Queen's helicopter when Princess Anne visited York last summer........... handsome chap eh???      

Taken on a camera phone....... Mike (Bigpixel) would be proud of me!)...
