Nicholas€™s talk to Danny about people identifying mysterious people is taken from the Metropolitan Police Force€™s €˜Street Smarts€™ section, with all the points Angel brings up being taken straight from the manual, including wearing large jackets and having your cap brought down to obscure your face.
