Height and weight rule axed for French police, was reported in the news last week..
Apparently height and weight requirements for police officers and other uniformed services have been scrapped. Until now officers in France needed to be at least 1.60m tall, not obese and have decent elocution -- and for us, on the other side, it was fabulous -- if you needed help, or needed to be saved, or needed directions, or needed to be protected, it was always going to be by a good looking, tall, strong, fit and well-spoken person -- as well it should be...Now the new criteria for officers will be based on their skills using firearms, eye sight, their general behaviour and a medical exam. Do I care that the man in whose strong arms I am going to be carried away from the scene of the danger has good eye sight? On the contrary - I prefer that he does not notice the wrinkles! Do I care that the hero on his 1200 BMW motorbike who is coming to my rescue when I am in distress has passed his medical exam or is in need of a new filling or can shoot straight -- or knows how to behave?

"Someone who can't run 1,300m will not be accepted," says a spokesman for the Ministry of Work and Civil Servants, but the relaxed rules would "open up the administration to all French without exception
A sad day indeed when they don't look like this anymore!:
Alain Bernard et Hugues Duboscq, the two swimmers who between them won 5 gold medals in the last Olympics and have just smashed all the records again at the European Swimming championships last week, are gendarmes. Do you agree that they should all like this??
Or these two brothers, Steeve and Christophe Guénot, and then there are many more in good looking young men in the police and security forces -- such as Boris Sanson, gold medallist in fencing (sabre) and Benjamin Darbalet, silver medallist in judo, -- and of course, not to forget the good looking women, such as bronze medallist in archery, Sophie Dodemont -- to name but a few.
