   In Germany the agent is called 'Null-Null-Sieben', which means   
   'zero-zero-seven'.   
      
   Whether they gave him a different name in the UK is therefore not   
   important for me.   
      
   The real roots of this number was actually a store room in the basement   
   of the former SIS-headquarter in London.
