We must differ on that, clearly, Will. Just remember that a reputable hire-chauffeur with a high-class business has his professional reputation to consider at all times. I honestly believe that a distinguished surgeon conducting a delicate operation on a VIP would be as likely to go heavily on the piss in the hour leading up to it.

I would add that that coroner clearly qualifies, like some others whose names have arisen from time to time, for the coveted "Mandy Rice-Davies Say What You'd Better Or The Buggers Might Just Get You Too" award. They have a US equivalent, tho not too sure after whom they name it, of which the unfortunate Miss M[Norma-Jean]M fell foul in not all that many million miles away circumstances...
