why ?  is it time of dayist?

it can't be discriminatory as "all" is the ultimate inclusive, unless it's against the untangable members of society, although I didn't think things that didn't exist tended to complain much :?

That'll be down to the fact that 'all' implies that there are multiple persons being addressed...

As such, this means that there is a gathering taking place, people are assembling in force (yes, all three of them) and therefore, the only recourse is to treat the matter under the Prevention of Terrorism Act and wade in with door opening devices, steelys and body armour.

The phrase, 'Evening All' is now rendered defunct to be replaced with the phrase, 'Police - stay where you are...'  [-X

Tis a shame...

I thought that now the clocks have gone back its dark when its "evening" and therefore the police are not allowed out due to H&S regulations.

It's the little knee bend that was performed with the 'evenin all' phrase that is the problem. There is concern that some officers might get stuck in the bow legged position and have to spend the rest of their service in the mounted division. Since horses generate toxic gases, it is deemed policically incorrect to employ enough of them to support all the injured officers.

Warwickshire police have had an order that they should no longer greet people with, evening or afternoon as this may confuse different cultures,also they have been told not to use the word black in a negative way, such as black mark etc.
The only confusion for me is which pillock comes out with this absolute drivel :doh:

I think the more comical point is that the word "evening" might confuse Americans as they tend to have tea earlier (or later) than we do and so might not make the connection..

Isn't this a case of trying to introduce guidelines which seek to not baffle the permanently bewildered?
