totally .... answer might be that the contaminant was at home (in area I know v well

), they ingested it (could have been in a range of formats ... and then went for a trip to town (via the London Rd cemetery where maybe they left flowers etc), they left the car at Sainsbury's car park and wondered through to Zizzi's, past Lakeland to the the Mill and then sat outside the Works where the poison hit 'em. The copper went to the house later and maybe he got some of the novichok too.
Yes, those were the lines I was thinking along -- but how would they have contaminated those places (if indeed they have) and what would the PC have done at their house to get a dose of it --- but there's photos of other police standing on his doorstep, upper windows open etc, no one looking bothered about being contaminated. And eye witness said the woman ill on the bench was blonde ... but the daughter is brunette?
A nerve agent can't be passed on through the sweating, salivating, sneezing etc can it? Won't its nature have been changed?
It's very sad, and I wouldn't want to have been potentially contaminated in the area - that must be scary if it can take a while to have an effect, whaatever it is, but it's a cracker of a mystery.
And the Russian's house, according to the press, used to belong to the Wiltshire police. Not signficant I know, but just another peculiar thing in a peculiar story.
