To whom it may concern, I do find it rather flippant to be referred to as 'Sonny'.
'Junior' would not appear so patronising and condescending. Indeed Indiana Jones' father so refers to him in 'The Last Crusade'! One can be classed as a Junior Reporter, or a Junior School Teacher, without deference.
Can someone help me with the mention of 'Bet/Nod', or was it 'Net/Bod'?
Is that a Spoonerism? That may account for a propensity for stirring.
Howsomeever, back on Topic in a roundabout manner. As a left handed golfer uses left handed clubs, would a left-
handed rifelman suffer the ejected bullet cases whistling across his visage. Would a left handed door smasher -inner need a
left handed sledge hammer?
Indeed he would not. From information in Police manuals and guidance videos, the 'Breacher of the door' I.e. assaulter Woodcock, as is proclaimed, will have the latest in the then building breaching technology. This would have been an effective ram, applied in the lock vicinity of the door. The result of this is to effect opening, by the keeper in the door jamb being smashed off.
Hopefully it will be agreed that there does not appear to much damage to have been caused to the open door in enigmatic Picture Kitchen 13.
In my considered opinion TFG officer Woodcock, wielding the 'ram', may not have been first through the door. It is likely to have been Collins, who is reported to have looked through the window, thus seeing a 'female', and having the advantage of already seeing the layout of the interior of the Laundryroom/scullery.
Please remember dawn occurred at 5.30a.m., and it is estimated that entry to WHF was made at approx 6a.m., when Jeremy was taken on the 'goose chase' to Tolleshunt d'Arcy village to phone Muggy.
