But it doesn't end there as the author unfolds further chaotic tales of woe happening on 'his watch'. These include; A misidentification situation with security forces at a major airport A key witness in a bank robbery The first game of golf Observations of a supermarket bag-packer And many others. Also included are two amusing letters written through the eyes of a young boy to Santa and the Prime Minister. A word of warning to the reader.
