No, the last but one person I interviewed was a solicitor, three before that was a church minister.

I have no preconceived notions about the intellect of an interviewee, but I am not going to talk to a solicitor using the same words as I would with either you or a 14 year old child.

There's nothing you'd say to me in your own terms you'd need to explain. I fully understand all the terms you put in your reports.

Perhaps, although many officers are pretty highly qualified these days. The majority of new recruits are university qualified. Our new shift member has a law degree.

But the general point you make is fair. The person being interviewed needs to fully understand the implications of the caution.

I like to ask the interviewee to explain what they think the caution means, then I help them understand each bit, hopefully pitching the explanation at the appropriate level to allow comprehension without condescension.

New recruits straight onto your elite team?

I'm sure I'd pitch it right for you...

I'm sure any tier 3 could, so you're nothing special are you?

My wife, my kids and my boss don't agree with you.

That's all that matters to me ...

Ya boss probably thinks your special in a different way to your wife and kids though

Yeah a tool/resource/number or maybe he's simply a special.

Aw... Bless! :rotfl:

Something you need to learn, my peppery friend, is that when someone is shown to be wrong, the bigger man will thank that person for preventing your repetition of the mistake rather than seeking to ridicule for the momentary embarrassment caused.

Funny how everyone else is wrong on your opinion.

To be fair, you're right most of the time, crotchety, carnaptious, but usually right.

You love pointing out others mistakes, no matter how minor, yet can't take it when the tables are turned. :whistle:
