Broadmoor, today

[Cap'n Jack]

I thought Robert might find this of interest, from Broadmoor's own website:

'Research Club
The group has a regular monthly meeting (the "119 Club") when work in progress is presented to other members. Visitors are welcome (secretary - Dr Tracey Heads). '

[Robert]

Yes, interesting, AP. But why 119?

[Suzi]

Exactly AP Why 119??...Tantalising........

[Cap'n Jack]

'All the things she said'?

[Sam Flynn]

911 backwards? As in "the opposite of an emergency"?

[Mike Covell]

But surely with it being in the UK, it should be 999 which is the opposite of, well erm....sod it, im off to bed!

[Sam Flynn]

Hi Mike,

But surely with it being in the UK, it should be 999

(a) We're getting increasingly Amercanised as a society - "Hi Mike" being an example ; and (b) "999" is a palindromic number.

[George Hutchinson]

Maybe 119 is the room the meetings are held in?

I was brought up not far from Broadmoor and when I was at Sixth Form it was fairly close and we could hear the alarms being tested once a week.

119 is the number of Psychiatrists in this 'club'.

Maybe all the "Screws" are secret fans of American boyband "911" but changed it for fear that the "Cons" might take the mickey!
