Greater Manchester Police (GMP) welcomed 125 new recruits to the force on Monday 29 October.
From their previous backgrounds across the world of work, the new recruits will be bringing a variety of experiences and expertise to GMP.
The officers include 50 recruits that have been funded by an increase in the policing precept which was announced by the Mayor of Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham, in January this year.
Mayor of Greater Manchester Andy Burnham proposed a rise in the police element of council tax to fund additional neighbourhood policing across Greater Manchester.
All the new recruits have experience, talent and a passion for policing communities in Greater Manchester. They also reflect the communities of Greater Manchester, which is something we are working hard to improve.
Officers were officially sworn into their roles at a formal ceremony at Manchester Grammar School and affirmed by GMP Chief Constable Ian Hopkins.
New recruits all complete a two year probation period which includes classroom based learning and a year of active patrolling.
During this period, they have the same role as that of a regular officer, including the power of arrest.
Chief Constable Ian Hopkins said: “I am delighted to welcome the new officers to GMP. The 50 that have been funded through the precept increase are particularly welcome as this is the first time we have had a growth in officer numbers since 2010.
“The Force faces continued financial challenges and I appreciate that the increase in the policing element of the precept is challenging for many across Greater Manchester, but it is vital for us in trying to maintain policing services across the Force area.
Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime Beverley Hughes said: “The additional money raised through the policing council tax has enabled us to provide a much-needed boost to neighbourhood police officers at a time when demand is at an all-time high, as they deal with ever more serious cases with a level of complexity we could not have predicted even a few years ago.”

I just got a package containing copies of the Chinese translation of my book!
It looks as if the example sentences are in English with Chinese translations underneath, and all of the text talking about the rules is in Chinese, so I can hardly read a word of it, but it looks great. The cover, packaging, and printing all seem top-notch.
What an exciting surprise! I thought it was going to be my book with the new cover.
Taken literally, this sign boldly proclaims that you can't not have a pet, must ride a horse, must have a picnic, and need a bicycle.
Perhaps this means the only permitted activity is to walk your dog while having a picnic on a horse which is riding a bicycle. Or maybe you could have a picnic with your bicycle-riding horse? The impossibilities are endless!

Some of my old school exercise books - or at least the covers (the contents haven't survived).
I can't remember how many there were of us taking French at A level, but it was a more popular subject then than it is now.
Vive Audacter! The badge used to say. Did I live boldly I wonder? I like to think so although I felt & feel no great affection for TGS. And anyway I failed "O" Level Latin.
This is VI Lower Science, I think, but I'm wondering what happened to the girls? And what are the button-holes that half the kids are wearing (not me)? Can't be Remembrance poppies as it's the wrong time of year. Anybody recognise themselves?
The school no longer exists, well part of it does but in the throes of being converted into flats - sorry luxury apartments. This photo was taken in one of the two quadrangles. I think the brick wall to the right is the main frontage building which still stands, the rest has gone. A new school named Trinity Academy run by the Emmanuel Schools Foundation (ex-Vardy Foundation) opened in September 2005.
Impressive: Tightest grammar lesson I've ever seen. Stuart covered a blitz of grammatical packages. Girls were good sports, taking notes and answering questions. I can't convey the comic nature of this session, but there was banging on tables, shouted call-and-response, and much laughter.
Walter Ernest Bauer (1921-1992), tourist-resort developer and operator, was born on 24 February 1921 at Gin Gin, Queensland, third of nine children of Queensland-born parents Ernest Michael Bauer, draper, and his wife Anna Wilhelmine, née Rackemann. In 1928 Wally enrolled at Gooburrum State School. After he and his brother Colin passed the 1934 State scholarship examination, the family moved to a dairy farm at Lindum, near Brisbane, so the boys could attend Brisbane Grammar School. There Wally displayed 'fair industry and ability' (BGS GR) and sat the junior public examination in 1936. The next year the Bauers took over Henry Lamond's lease of the Molle group of islands by exchanging the Lindum farm. With two other families, they started developing South Molle as a tourist resort. Wally soon obtained his master’s ticket so that he could skipper the island’s launch.
Enlisting in the Royal Australian Air Force on 21 June 1941, Bauer qualified as a pilot and flew in the South-West Pacific Area with No. 36 Squadron (1943), No. 5 Communication Unit (1943-44), and No. 4 Communication Unit (1944-45). His superiors appreciated his quiet efficiency and pleasing manner. He was demobilised on 4 September 1945 as a flying officer. On 20 March 1944 at St Paul's Church of England, Proserpine, he had married Frances Alice Beatrice Walmsley, a shop assistant; they were to have a daughter and two sons before being divorced.
After World War II Bauer took over the Kincora Hotel at Lower Tully but by 1950 he was back on South Molle as assistant manager of the resort. Keeping in touch with former guests was an important part of the family’s ethos. They conducted a number of reunions of South Molle holiday-makers at Rockhampton and other cities in the 1950s. An annual ball was held at the Cloudland Ballroom, Brisbane, for 'friends of the island,' proceeds of which went to charity.
In 1955, following Ernest Bauer's retirement, the lease was transferred to his sons. Over the following years, family members went their separate ways and Wally became sole manager in December 1959. Under his direction, South Molle gained the reputation as a place of fun, where neckties were not allowed. His outgoing personality was well suited to the hospitality industry. In the 1960s he printed his own currency, the ‘reef,’ for use on the island; it featured his portrait and was a highly successful promotional idea. On 9 August 1967 at the Court House, Bowen, he married Thelma May Martin, née Rackemann, a secretary and divorcee.
Bauer presided over the Great Barrier Reef Promotional Council and instigated the annual Whitsunday Festival and the Coral Queen competition. He fostered a spirit of cooperation with the managers of other Whitsunday resort islands to jointly advance their interests, and he campaigned for the construction of a new jetty and tourist facility at Shute Harbour to service the islands.
In January 1970 the South Molle resort was badly damaged by cyclone Ada. After a challenging year of rebuilding and re-establishment, Bauer sold the business to Peter Vaggelas in November 1971 and moved to Port Macquarie, New South Wales, where he briefly developed the Palm Court Garden sport resort. He then retired to Buderim, Queensland. Survived by his wife and the children of his first marriage, he died on 3 December 1992 at Buderim and was cremated.

I initially read the title of this book, on my english teacher's desk, as "The grammar of the Bible".
The answer to Guess Where is Portsmouth Grammar School, which is the school my clever brother attended!
Just for your info, my brother went to the Portsmouth Grammar School - this one, while my sister went to Southern Grammar School, which is now renamed Priory College, where my sons have been!
Here is some info from Wikipedia...
The Portsmouth Grammar School is an English co-educational independent school, founded in 1732. It is located in Portsmouth, England, in the historic part of the city.
It is one of the country's top independent schools, consistently ranking highly in national reviews of teaching quality and examination results.
In 1732 William Smith former Mayor of Portsmouth and Physician to its Garrison, died and left his estate to Christ Church, Oxford. This came with instructions to build a new school in Portsmouth - The Portsmouth Grammar School (PGS) was founded.
Since then it has undergone a series of changes - including slight alterations to its location, some of which were due to bombing in World War II, its conversion to co-education, and the abolition of boarding.
At the moment the Upper Junior School (Years 5-6) is situated in a Victorian building (which once contained the whole Grammar School) close to part of the University of Portsmouth. The Nursery, Lower Junior School (Reception to Year 4), Middle School and Upper School are located across the road on the High Street. The majority of that area used to be the Cambridge Barracks: a building used by the army which was ravaged by fire after bombing by the Luftwaffe.
The school colours are red, black and gold, and the school motto is Praemia Virtutis Honores (English: Honours are the rewards of virtue).

This is Canton Grammar School in Canton, Georgia. "The Grammar School Building was constructed in 1914 in the Neoclassical Revival style. The Grammar School’s façade is dominated by a full-length entry portico with Ionic columns. With enrollment growing, a high school was constructed across the street in 1924. Canton Elementary School left the building in 1974 when their new building next to Cherokee High School opened. The Cherokee County Office of the Superintendent now occupies the grammar school building." www.rockbarn.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Large-Map-Bro....
