But as you would well know, you're there at sort of, I don't know, 10 o'clock at night.

Yeah.

You've almost packed your bag to go home, haven't you?

And then the phone rings and then it's the biggest job of your life and you're there 12 hours later still.

This is the truth of it.

I laugh with friends who've done it.

That's bad because it's horrendous hours, but there was also an element of it which was just so exciting because...

Anything can happen.

So it's also something that's good fun as well, the job, working in those sorts of situations.

Yeah, look, I mean, it's the best job in the world.

Absolutely.

Yeah, you can't deny it.

It's not, I always sort of laugh, you know, I talked at the start about Sherlock Holmes and stuff, you know, and all these detective characters in fiction, they have like problems, don't they?

And pressure and all that.

And I think I looked at it and thought, I used to love all that.

When you do it, you realize, well, they've only got one crime to solve.

You know, they've got so much time compared to what an average detective would have.

I used to run 30 crimes.

at a time you know and and um so it's kind of interesting how how it's played or played out isn't it but yeah so it is a great job so when i was up at the the beach wondering what to do i started writing down kind of my my stories and stuff because it it's always that there's it's such a um the whole the whole thing's often built on kind of experience and it's stories and

It's a fascinating job to do, yeah.
