[Easy 10]

they fly in to disaster zones all over the world, why not Sussex? .

Carbon paw print.

I can't believe that Sussex Police have sniffer dogs trained for use in earthquake zones. Whats the point in that?

Presumably very handy in any circumstance where people might be buried under rubble, earthquake induced or otherwise.

Well I hope they've got one of those avalanche search dogs as well. Just in case, you know.

Too right

In typical Argus fashion, the story is somewhat misleading in that it suggests that a large chunk of Lewes Castle has fallen off. It's actually an outlying piece of old wall about a hundred yards to the east, behind Castle Ditch Lane to the rear of the Law Courts.

Surely there’s an NHBC 1000 year warranty in place. i

I've done a bit of that sort of thing. I recently did some pointing on one of the walls at Lewes castle. PM me for a quote.

Check out the big brains on Brett !

Never heard of them before. Must be a southern outfit.

Don't understand this? They might be useful in situations where people are possible buried, ie earthquakes, collapsed buildings etc. Not going to be much help if someone's buried and they need to fly a specialist 'dog' in!!!

or snow avalanches...
