All fine and back to normal, thankfully. I'm not back in the office yet, but we went for a quick coffee on the last day and laughed about it then talked shop as it we hadn't seen each others bits.
Phew.

Unfortunately I am driving so zero alcohol for me. It has paid off in former years when being randomly stopped. No smell of alcohol and piggy does not even bother to breathalyse me. However, I always ask if they have finished, then I give them a rollicking and insist that they give me a “stop” notice. They ask “what ethnicity
do you your describe yourself” and I reply “Black Caribbean”. They don’t look happy but they have to tick the box.
