Thanks Kev. If nothing else, hopefully this has shown that many people do appreciate the great work you all do in very trying circumstances. I wish you and your team all a happy Christmas and a peaceful New Year.

Thanks Terry. The last few weeks have really taken its toll on the team dealing continuously with this type of incident. Hopefully the stresses on people turn a corner in the new year. Seasons greetings. https://t.co/TKcmpBBwI0

Thanks for all the kind comments about what happened last night.
I keep imagining Chris safe and warm in hospital. I hope that’s real.

@iainlee what you just said prompted me to look into volunteering with the Samaritans. It’s something I would love to maybe do in the next couple of years.
