What does TF stand for on the policeman's shoulder in 'Single-Handed'

No glamma - and I'm going to watch the series all over again! I think the other 'arf is jealous - that's why he said we'd already seen the first episode!

green surely it can't do our pulse rate any harm watching him again can it ?

Just seen your post, glamma! DH said we saw them all...... I may just have to have a wee look, though, just to be sure..........

green just to let you know he is back on ITV3 on Wednesday evening at 10pm, it is the start of the series but I don't mind I missed a few episodes first time around. enjoy !!

Never mind girls we will have to find someone else as our pin up.

Oh, that`s a shame, it was nice to have a good looking man to ogle!

Oh what a shame! I really liked that programme...etc!

Well green the powers that be are not renewing the series so we will have to find another pinup,they are saying that the programme was struggling for ratings,they obviously did not count us two did they.

Oh, I know (Sybil Fawlty again!) Firemen do it for me, though.....

Just caught up with the last episode on Sky as we were away. Yes he is rather a nice piece of eye candy (thats a phrase daughters use by the way) -what is it about uniforms - even my sil and all his mates look handsome in their Guards uniforms but look so normal in civvies.

JessM and how good is that,I'm of the opinion that when you stop looking you're dead.(all in jest of course)

You are a lecherous bunch of grandmothers!

And mine, too, glammanana!

Still thinking that TF will translate to TOTALLY FIT in glamma language

No, I think it was meant (I muttered darkly). The character Master Bates was probably thought of because the writer was reminded of someone he wasn't all that keen on and thought was a bit of a w....r!

Female Guard on TV last night, she helped with an emergency home birth in county Offaly, FY plus numbers on her shoulder. I am leading v quiet life here in the riverbank so not a lot of police action... I am pleased to relate.
Of course if TF is made up it could be a joke as in "What TF is that...?"
Was Captain Pugwash's Master Bates a joke or what it an innocent mistake... will be ever know the truth?

Mmm the Aussie cops are pretty fit too.

yes i am having a good time thanks and trying not to put on any more weight...

Well done Jess having a good time I bet,when I lived in Spain on Tuesday's my pal and I used to go to the local market and when we had finished our shopping we went Guardia watching whilst they directed all the traffic out of the village,we alway's wondered if their uniform's where sprayed on

JessM you are a star, and so brave, looking at all those men in uniform....I look forward to hearing from you! Enjoy yourself!

Hope you're having fun, jess!

Update from the emerald isle!!
The single guard at Rosslare had WX on his shoulder (see i was on the look out the minute i landed), and he was of course standing there in County Wexford. I have not seen any others on foot to examine closely ...

Car reg numbers over here have the county ID in them which helps with nosiness (lots of people with Dublin number plates in town tonight... etc)
It seems to be the division of the Gardai to which they belong. Not yet managed to establish whether TF is a real or a mythical division, but i don't thing they are divided into counties because some of them so tiny it would not make sense. Like one town and about six villages seemed to sum up county Laois. 6 policemen does not division make.

If i see any more guards I will have a good look, trust me.

I know - DH gets so annoyed with me when he thinks he's found something on TV that I'll like (control/remote/control -if you get my meaning?), because I'll look up from my knitting -or laptop- and say, "Think we've seen this, have we not?"
Can't wait till next series - apart from enjoying the 'looks' of him, the scenery reminded me so much of Scotland's west coast. Lovely!

Didn't he do well? have to wait for new series now,knowing my luck they won't make one,probably end up with something that's years old now on Thursday's

I'm poised ready, glammanana! Hope JessM remembers to find out what the TF stands for when she's on her holidays!

Last episode in the series to-night green
