A crew were doing vehicle manoeuvres. The driver was in a t shirt with uniform shirt hung close by. They took a shortcut and met an unmarked car full of officers coming the other way. On the single track road the officer driving very kindly (tho seemingly with some irritation) gave way to the larger vehicle. The driver of the ambulance waved a thank you and they passed. The driver's colleague spotted that atleast one of the passengers in the rear of the car was not wearing a seatbelt. Silly but there we go. The crew arrived at their destination to be met by another crew who said that Control were on the phone for them. Driver took the call and was queried about uniform. The driver had been reported to control for not wearing their shirt. The Control officer was actually embarrassed but had little option but to pass on the words of the more senior (certainly NOT superior) officer. 1. i do believe looking right is a good thing 2. the public just want someone to turn up who can help regardless of what they look like 3. any doubts about who they were would've been allayed by the fact that they would've turned up in a rather large yellow vehicle bearing lurid battenburg markings and lit up like a flippin' christmas tree! 4. it takes 10 seconds (at most) to pop on a shirt... which can be done whilst exiting the vehicle to move to the back doors or side door for extra kit that may be needed. It really is about... priorities! 'scuse the sound off. It's a bugbear of mine and just another illustration of the nonsense that some have to put up with Having up to date uniform issue wouldn't go amiss either! Oh and did i mention that atleast one of the officer's wasn't wearing a seatbelt thereby committing a moving traffic offence?... hmmm!
