''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' 'The Lighter Side of the Law' Excerpt; 'Harry, as he puts it has been "blessed" in carving a second career for himself with his writing, yet his self-deprecating humour belies the large amount of hard work and self belief he needed to get his books into almost every bookstore in Scotland.......'a ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' About his live 'One Man Shows' he says; 'The shows are an affectionate look at the humour that exists within the police force, but he wants the audience to bear in mind the service the police provide for the public, so he finishes his show with this poem which he recited to me: I have been
where you fear to be, I have seen what you fear to see. It was an unexpected and sobering addition to our interview, and I suspect an audience with a bellyful of laughs would feel the same. Yet the boldness and timing of the poem during the show is perfect. "It really brings it home what a serious job the police do".
