Indeed, patently still, in the vernacular, "carrying the torch" for her. Blergh. How long have they been divorced? Some years now, or at least separated, yes?
And, speaking of tropes (Rockford, this is all your fault!), seriously, a copper, of almost
any rank, living in a houseboat/riverboat, in CHELSEA? Anybody here have any idea what boat living costs? You always see this nonsensical Bohemian, cheap image of boat living. Generally speaking--there are no absolutes, other than "all humans die," but it's bl**dy expensive living. Not cheap and there is nothing cheap from one end of Chelsea to the other, for crying out loud. In the center of the city, moorings frequently run 20K pounds/year. That's
not chump change. Granted, housing in London ain't cheap, either but...what is it with coppers living on the beach, mooring on the Thames (or Chelsea Harbor), and so on? We all know that they can't afford it. It's irksome.
Not sure how I feel about the new sidekick. She's not made much of an impression on me thus far.
Sigh, and I'd
really looked forward to this, because pickings are SO SO slim of late. I'm getting ready to do another run of something like...IDK, Columbo or the like.
