While not ideal, Bruce does reminiscence about the years he spend in Penicuik as one of the more pleasant parts of his childhood, as his grandmother might have been a drunk, but she was one of the very few people in his life to always be kind to him.

* HypocriticalHumor: Bruce's opinion of Ray Lennox flipflops throughout the book depending on the situation. When Ray says he's going to apply for the D.I. position Bruce is after, even though he knows he won't get the job and is only doing it to gain experience in the application process, he's a "smarmy wee cunt" and an "arselick." When the two of them are later doing cocaine together and lamenting that they can't just shoot whoever they want, Bruce thinks, "A sound guy and a fuckin good polisman. I don't care what anybody thinks."
