Displaced heroism

It's surprising, but when your routine is suddenly turned upside down, it's a change that's as good as a rest.... and we gained hero status with our clients up north. We knew nothing of course about the progress of the siege, but the clients still pumped us for the latest updates. And if any work was delayed, they weren't at all bothered!

All we discovered about the siege we actually gleaned from the BBC news.

Occasionally I had to pop back to my own office to collect something. The men from the Met were really great. They were the heroes.
