Kitty - I don't think that they wake up sleeping policemen though.

When I was working on Teeside, quite a few of the workers at ICI drove in over the moors. It was not unusual for them to carry a plastic sack in the back - just in case. One of my colleagues had a brother who was a butcher and people were always asking for his services in converting a road-kill into what we would now call a freezer pack. In those days home freezers were virtually unheard of, so everyone would be offered cheap lamb, mutton, or sometimes even venison.
