Once Dad retired from the Civil Service he worked part time as Safety Officer for a major London corporation.

They received bomb threats and the like from time to time and treated all of the incidents as potentially serious though, fortunately, none of them were while Dad was around.

On one occasion they received a bomb threat by phone that included an IRA code word.

Dad was brought in to the police interview with the girl who took the call and so was party to ...

Policeman: Was there anything distinctive about the caller? Anything about his voice that might tell us if this might be a genuine IRA call?
Receptionist: Nothing at all, he just sounded really ordinary.
Policeman: Well, for example, what sort of accent did he have?
Receptionist: He didn't have any accent at all.
Policeman: So, how did he sound?
Receptionist: Ordinary. Just like me.

She was from Belfast.  X_X

...you spend four hours driving through the beautiful Scottish and northern English countryside and just think about how inspiring it is for getting the finger out and making some terrain when you get back.

You drive across a nice open ridge, down to a picture post card village in the valley, and wonder "What is the range from that hill to the edge of the village?" You organise a special trip to London. .... so you can spend five hours in the British Library researching which Prussian Dragoon regiments wore light blue, and which white, at the Battle of Kesselsdorf in 1745, in German language books over a hundred years old. Whoopeee!  :D :D :D

When you're driving along the road (well, some people drive cross-country  :Ph ) and you wonder if the gap between the traffic lights at the pedestrian crossing is wide enough for a modern MBT and its transporter to pass .... even a Warrior IFV ..... or (dare I hope) .... a Boxer 8x8.  :-\
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Be a bit of a surprise if 64 Boxers suddenly appeared on the high street. Send for the naval brigade and a couple of gatlings to see the blighters off!
