Cornflakes with Whisky: One career, two lives, one marriage - a real story of community policing and an enduring relationship
An affectionate and humorous gallop through the author’s four decades of community policing across the Midlands counties of England from the early 1970’s until his retirement in 2003. As the author says, ‘All cops who have served for some time could both tell and write some good stories. In that respect this book is not unique. I hope that what is unique is that this story picks up the emotions, the characters and the true feelings that so often are not described when cops recount their experiences. But, this is more. It is a story of two loves. The first is the love of a job that served me well for 33 years, but, just as importantly it is a story of love and marriage that has survived even longer. The job and the marriage were entwined inextricably because in the days when this story started they had to be – there was no choice. Does this sound like survival? Well at times it probably was, for both of us. Do I regret any of it? No, not one bit. Does my wife Jud? Well, you had better ask her!
