Well I’m in the process of doing something similar with my IM accounts. In all honesty, I only really have a single account that’s active but it is attached to an email address I simply don’t use for anything any more.

As such, if you have me on MSN then please remove the existing account and replace it with robert@xset.co.uk which is a perfectly valid and working Passport account in its own right.

For those of you not big on the MSN route you can also add robert@xset.co.uk to your GoogleTalk lists and Jabber will be coming along shortly.

That said, my duty this Halloween was a definite reminder of why I volunteer my time to this worthwhile endeavour. Whilst other parishes were gearing up for mass egg confiscation and strapping on the riot gear to deal with drunken youths and fireworks (I exaggerate … but only slightly) my duty team and I went out on one of our rare patrols to ensure peace in the Parish. We weren’t carrying CS spray, cuffs or batons. The only additional equipment we had with us was a decidedly non standard issue family size tin of Roses.

For every group of trick or treaters we saw, we’d stop and give them some of the sweeties with a pleasant piece of cautionary advice and go on our way.

This is what community policing is all about and, whilst it may not work in all areas, it ensured we had a quiet Halloween that was fun for all involved whilst building trust in the local police with the youngsters concerned that, hopefully, will stay with them as they go through life.

It’s amazing what a tin of chocolates can do when properly applied.

Thanks to Dan, Beav, Ani and Derek for a cracking evening!
