DI Fred Thursday:  A policeman 's lot is not a happy _ one _ , I 'm told , but the lot of a policeman 's wife hardly gets a mention . But while I 've been out , running around , nabbing villains and uh generally playing silly buggers , the real brains of the outfit has made a house a home , rasised two children - our children - seen 'em off to school each morning , clean and smart , and somehow , even with all that to do , there 's always been a hot meal for me when I get home . Twenty - five years ago I got the best bit of luck any man ever had . The toast is : my Win .
