Thread: FAL F**k up.

I have said it before and will say it again. Mistakes will happen. It is how they are dealt with afterwards that set companies etc apart. Faulty item? Well it happens. Anyone is capable of a mistake. But dealing with it properly (replacing or repairing any fault etc) promptly and without more issues.



Take note that you have got one with the wrong photo, so the cops may ned to know whose license your photo is on too.....

Record it, but give them a chance to sort it.

kind of agree with this.... data entry , computer glitch who knows.
the bigger picture is that it tears down the credibilty of the police as the organisation tasked with licensing
you havent said if you were waiting on a new licence yourself....
dont make a copy.....im sure that is a crime (a digi for proof is probably ok)
and be careful who you show it to (if anyone at all ) because at the end of the day it identifies 2 licence holders , yourself and the other bloke , and that information shouldnt be shared with anyone in the public arena

FFS........a right cock up.......not amused by this at all.......

I'm waiting for my plastic to arrive,be interesting to see if the whole batch is out of sync.

I'll go in and see my arms officer sometime this week and see how they handle it. If I'm unsatisfied on the response I receive I'll get in touch with some form of media and start stirring some shit.

Personally, I think the time for quietly quietly has passed. Your AO didn't print the license, sure, but this is a great example of why they can't and shouldn't be doing a register.

@scotty I'm not waiting for a new license, I got mine over a year ago, and all I've done is taken a picture with my thumb covering the fal number at the bottom, just for proof that it's happened.

think your doin it right going to the AO first if your not satisfied i dont think i would bother with the journos it wont suit their agenda so would get buried they wont want the truth to get in the way.
maybe a sympathetic MP (good luck with that) or someone or some organisation that can actually get heard

yep we get blamed for someone elses terrorist we cant be trusted

police obviously incompetent.

remove Mountain safety officers who were working for free to help safety (including myself)

why is the spotlight on civilians again?

Easy targets the ones most likley to comply cant think for them selves are a few reasons that spring to mind

Give it to David Tipple ha ha He d love the chance to bang some heads around ha ha

Couldn't agree more. Not unknown to happen on a driver licence and passport too. You'd think that some of the posters on here are perfect individuals who've never made a mistake in their life. That old saying comes to mind, “when you point a finger there are three fingers pointing back at you”.

Was the photo taken BEFORE your sex change? Just checking
