Virtual Office Friday - yeay Friday

[byslantedlight]

Friday! One more big day of work, and then it's not the work-week any more! (I really hate that I don't like my work week, I always used to. I am experimenting next week, with a view to fixing this!) In the meantime there's more Pros Round Robin to read over at discoveredinalj, the sky outside is blueblueblue, I found 23 glow worms on my glow worm hunt last night, there's only about a week until the next KJ Charles books is out, and here's some inspiration to get us through... *g*Apparently the official background of our lads (from one of the LWT poster mags, I think, though I'd have to go and check cos have I noted it down? No...) I like the bit that says they've drifted closer together... *g*

Manchester? Where does Manchester come into Doyle?! Now I'm just confused! *g*

Poetic license... and In the Public Interest, of course. :D

Poetic licence is all good, but I'm not sure I'd want to definitely call the city in ITPI Manchester, even if elements of the issues there might have informed the people who wrote the ep... and it wasn't the only city suffering those sorts of issues... Mind you, it's also partly because it didn't feel at all like Manchester to me... and perhaps because I might be leery of using big cities that aren't named anywhere in the eps, because that seems so unlikely... The lads have accents that are definitely at least partly Wirral/Liverpool and Birmingham/East Midlands, so anywhere around those areas fits, but I don't get a hint of anything Manchester in the eps. But I'm just having a Sunday rambling-thoughts moment, and this is for your BB, right, rather than claimed as canon, so go for it!

Well, my understanding is that Chief Constable Green was modelled somewhat on James Anderton. But I'll discuss with the betae, if it's going to throw readers off.

Though Doyle isn't spending a whole lot of time in the town itself.

Well, as long as it's significantly north of London, though not too far - that's the main thing.
And look - it is! Better than Manchester, even... okay, filing that away for later...

Oh yeah, I'd say he probably was - but modelling on and being is different to me. Everyone's mileage varies, as they say... *g* Anderton was actually in charge in Manchester when I lived there - horrible, horrible man... But anyway, that's probably why I can't conflate the two - if Anderton was in Manchester, then the ITPI city can't be Manchester, cos Green wasn't Anderton - if you see what I mean. *g* Different betas will have different thoughts about it, and/or might not know anything about Anderton, so I expect you're fine. It's one of those individual things. *g*
