I would also like to echo Harv's thoughts about the police in Oxfordshire and Bedfordshire. On October 1st me and my whole family went to the Sheldonian Theatre in Oxford to see my son get his degree from Oxford University - a very proud moment. Later that day, whilst still in Oxford, a member of my family was seriously attacked. I'm not going to go into any more details about it, suffice it to say that in dealing with this, the Police were absolutely superb throughout. All we ever seem to hear are stories of the police persecuting road users, and I'm sure we've all had a patronising roadside 'chat' with the law at some stage in our lives. What we tend to forget is that it's the same people dealing with all the binge drinkers, the lowlife and scum that everybody else wants to turn a blind eye to.
