Who was your FEO? Mine was with Alan Sharpe. I think they should land on the door mats around the same time.

Yes I believe he is an ex PC. I not sure of the name of the FLM (not always great with names) but he did mention that his boss was a lady.

No worries - thinking about Trev' would have been well passed retirement by now - I went to his "Police" leaving in do in 1998!! (He had done 30 years) and then went on to be FLM.
