I thank my Editors for their patience, proof reading, editing skills and of course the encouragement they always give me. Techsan being indisposed at this time, LadyCibelle and a close friend of mine SH have done the honours on this one, or suffered the penance, kind-a depends where you're standing. I'm sure that you will all join me in wishing Techsan a speedy recovery.

Clarification:
DHS in the UK, historically stands for the Department Of Health and Social Services, that was charged - among other things - with handing out cash to the unemployed and the financially destitute. It's now been abolished under the British government's normal system of spending more cash changing things around and creating jobs for the boys by creating even more departments.

The PCA is the Police Complaints Authority, the government department that investigates the publics' complaints concerning British police forces.
