• Gerry Standing : You've no idea about the amount of *crap* that UCOS got in the early days. I mean at first everyone said 'Oh yeah, what a great idea' but then they realized we were working just a bit too well; we were showing up ex-coppers for what they actually were: slovenly, disinterested, and in some cases downright bent!

  DAC Robert Strickland : I doubt it'll ever be quite like this one, no.

• Steve McAndrew : You ever actually been to Scotland?
