I like this bit. Typical English understatement:

Central Hampshire deputy coroner Simon Burge said to the officer: "It must have been a huge shock to you."
Sgt Carter replied: "In some ways it was, sir."

In what way would it not be a shock to him? Hardly an everyday occurrence in England, though no doubt a bit more common in the US.

He was irrationally opposed to moving. So is my wife. You may have given me an idea here.
