End of term
I write with reference to two people who have been in the news in the past week whose careers have ended.
Firstly, PCSO Terry McCormack: what a great guy.
I witnessed a man committing suicide by jumping off Wisbech Town Bridge, horrendous.
I returned home in absolute bits and began writing a report of what I had witnessed.
Shortly after, Terry and PCSO Sue Clarke called round to make sure I was OK.
I wasn t, but they stayed with me until I had calmed down and took a statement.
What helped was during some small talk, I revealed that one of my favourite bands was The Pogues. and Terry said he had been a roadie for them! Wow!

She added: “While I was studying, I would often see the Wisbech crew practicing their skills in the station drill yard from the window of the isle college library.
