Seems from what you read on here there's loads of the pesky rascals. I never knew there were before joining CIU, prior to which I'd been a shiner for about 8 years I guess.
I havent got a clue how many shiners round my way are. I know a few of them, most seem to be fire-men not tamborine-bashers. Perhaps they are and dont want to spout off about it. I wouldn't. They do have a rough time of it regarding public perception.
