I was called out to Swanwick last Saturday, to assist the Police in a particularily nasty crime. We were all over Hants and ended up in Swanwick in the early hours of Saturday morning. When it became apparent that we would get no further that night, we were sttod down to a country house hotel, to grab a couple of hours kip. Imagine my suprise, that we were not the only one's queuing to check into the hotel at 2 a.m.

Four or so suits (and a dress) were also checking in, wearing ID badges prominently around their necks, and having completed formalities at the desk went straight to the bar "for a few" as I overheard.

Imagine my even GREATER suprise when they were at breakfast, at 7 a.m. either having not gone to bed, or having grabbed a maximum of 5 hours - the length of time in the bar = not very much sleep, re-suited and dressed and still wearing their ID cards looking ready to go off to work. Indeed, they got into their car, and off they went.

It's a worry !
