Firstly can apologise for any swearing , spelling and grammar, but I have to wait another 10 mins to unload my fury! ( So rant here)
06:02 was woken as my German Shepard went mad ( normally a quiet doggy) so got up to see what was the issue. It turned out to be a charity bag through the letter box! Thought to myself 6! Am pretty sure they are not allowed to start until 7 (bad enough) so threw on some clothes and decided to politely tell him (through pigeon English and pointing at watch he needed to wait until 7. He seemed to agree. ( The next 5 neighbours he was about to go to are all in their 70/80s and all widows - in fact they all have moved in before I was born ( and I treat them all as my gran), so all seemed fine!
I looked out and he had just carried on! So I put on shoes, got the (fierce looking) German Shepard on a lead and caught up with him and his partner.
Called the police on 111 and reported it, was told nothing to do with them.
So decided to stay, while they called their boss. (Confident that dog looked fierce, but is far from it (though if someone went for me ..)
A lad happened to be walking back from work and stopped. Told him what was happening, but I was fine. A white fan arrived with 4 more people who turned out to be Bulgarian and a stand off ensured while I again was son the phone to the police asking they come.
I spent 40 mins on the phone with a civilian call handler who was more interested in my address ( even though I was 3 streets away), never asked the Reg of the van, and tried to play some sort of TV show lawyer. 40 mins later, the Albians ( which I discovered) asked what I wanted and I said to get out of this area and don't come back.
They then said ok, all got in their van and the Muppet from the police (who is still one the phone) , "ok so you don't need us anymore"
I just hung up, the lad who had stopped on his way home, volunteered to put his name and number in my phone.
Now, being the person I am I have discovered 3 illegal acts that the police are responsible to deal with an and this rant has filled my time until I can confirm something with Salford Council, which means they didn't bother with a fraud.
FInally. Why I have really seen my "bottom" is that it is supposed to be working for a forces charity (forcessupport.org) who according to filings at the charity commission(2016) have raised £2.4m and spent £2.1m on pay and administration. Enough said ! Rant over and phone calls to make.
