Some Say...

Some say he sleeps upside down. Some say his boots are made from tyres left in the TT pit lane. Some say he knows 17 words for rain. All we know is he's called the RPU Stig.

In researching this story I've been asking many questions of many people. This evening, after crafting group, a police officer came into the cafe. I asked if I might ask some questions. There are times each year when applications are invited from UK police officers who would like to transfer across to the Island. These officers are first sent out on patrol to become acquainted with the Island. If the officers have specialist training, like Stig from the Road Policing Unit, they will be slotted into jobs as openings arise. There is no standard time period. It all depends on the individual and the roles that need to be filled. This is all useful for my story.

Sophie, one of the crafters, had told me a bit about casinos. This week she mentioned some casinos give new members a £10. If this £10 token was placed on a roulette table, and won, and then left again, and won again, this would mean the person had won almost £13,000 in two spins of the wheel.

I'm loving that people are now advancing ideas and additional pieces of information.
