We have – The Ambulance Service
We have – The Police Service
We have – The Fire Brigade Service

Perhaps many more of the UK 'numbnuts' would appreciate our critically important contribution to keeping this wee island supplied with everything.
Wishing you a very pleasant festive season - most of the products WE supplied by the way.
