I know where all the CCTV cameras are in the Toby carvery I eat at regular. And that they cost £85000 to set up. And they only upgraded from monochrome three years ago.

Lots of stuff about the rich and famous from my previous job (I used to work on superyachts).

Now, lots of stuff about the security services, police services and other things I can't talk about
