I'm not impressed with this either. I can - without a crystal ball - tell that a large number of elderly people will fall out of bed all over London at approx 06:30 most mornings; on Fri/Sat nights there will be drunken fights at around midnight on any High Street/Broadway/Centre that has any number of pubs/bars/nightclubs; on Sat afternoon/Sun morning stupid people will twist/strain/sprain ankles playing football; in appalling weather conditions there will be awful traffic accidents on the A4/M11/A406/A13/A40 etc etc. Its not - as they say - rocket science. BUT, no-one can possibly guess - using computer software, crystal ball or anything else - specifically WHEN, WHERE, HOW and WHAT. Its impossible. I've sat on sector desks bored to tears one moment, then next thing you know it kicks off big-time in one area, whilst the other side of the manor remains as quiet as the grave. Morever, if a third of the ambulances we aresupposed to have on a partic shift are un-manned (as is often the case) who the hell are we supposed to "dynamically deploy"?? Oh - since fuel is so expensive at the moment, isn't our fuel bill (not to mention the much-vaunted LAS Carbon Footprint) going to increase monumentally??? And - as you say - sitting in an ambo cab seat for the best part of twelve hours a day is more likely to assist the promotion process, by ensuring large numbers of staff retire on heath grounds with bad backs!! It'll all end in tears - mark my words!!!
