THE NIGHTWATCHMAN

THE NIGHTWATCHMAN

The hum from the cooling system echoed throughout the building a constant –50c had to be maintained at all cost.

Earnest leaned across the table to check the time on his old clock .

Less than an hour of his shift left .

A wee look of worry etched across his face that in an hour he would be finished at warehouse No10

When the kids riot in Belfast is it described as a UK riot? No! but when they riot in England it's described as UK riot... That's wrong.  and dragging us fair minded Scots into their troubles.
