Rare, but there was the case a couple of years ago of the woman who could get drunk off potatoes - a one portion of chips girl. If it had turned out to be a disability, they'd have been absolutely roasted in the press for it. That's why they're in the police force and unfortunately it's also another example of how hamstrung the police are by procedures today thanks to a few bad apples of yesteryear.The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't existComment

Originally posted by LondonManc View PostIndeed, I'm talking more about the (excuse the pun) PC processes in place these days that mean they probably cannot breathalyse him at the start or terminate the interview early. Still, he's within staggering distance of Lidl one way or the Friendship pub the other way, so he'd be fine.Comment
