A Policeman's Lot
By John Tinnion
ISBN 9781912078370
 
This fascinating memoir of a former beat bobby and traffic policeman is full of hilarious and sometimes heart-rendingly sad anecdotes from his time on the force. Harking back to a time of greater simplicity, the reader is in turn informed, surprised, and entertained by a wide array of characters and incidents that comprise the daily life of a policeman in the sixties and seventies. Told with unwavering humour and incite, John Tinnion gives us a glimpse behind the thin blue line as we learn what constitutes a policeman’s lot.
