She got really far into the recruitment process but her medical showed she had used an inhalor and she was tuned down However she is currently a special constable and is loving doing that (as well as being in the Prison Service which she also enjoys).
Thats a shame. I think I could fall down on my eye sight. Im blind as a bat, my specs are really strong.
I must look at the special constable thing.

I can't even see the first line without glasses! In fact, I doubt I'd even see the chart!
