When a copper eyeballed me br outside ‘Boots’ in Croydon br at 1.00 am, he br was actually doing me a favour, br ‘cos it meant I was not down in Devon br when his lordship’s place br was being turned over; br between the hours of 12.30am br and 1.30am on that very day… br br but later that morning, when I saw br that bloke getting something out of your eye br in the doorway of W.H.Smiths, br when you were supposed br to be staying in washing your hair… br br I felt a need for further investigation.
