This is a mini-essay that I just wrote for somebody on the NaNoWriMo research forum: I figured it'd be useful to Sherlock fandom, too.
Source(s): My parents, who both worked for the Forensic Science Service for years.
( Privatisation! Politics! Paper overalls! )
I hope that's useful to someone. It's a weird mixture of information, and I've done my best not to give away anything that I think might be secret (it's kind of hard to tell sometimes: because both my parents are security-cleared, they did used to just chat about these things).
