After experimenting for a while, I discovered that Cake actually calls my
afterFind function twice for each matching row, but with different data
formats -
The first time in the form - array(array('Group' => ('id' => ...)))
The second time in the form - array('id' => ... , 'Town' => array('id' =>
...)) so I do get the Town data. It is rather unfortunate that the data
formats are different as it makes the afterFind code rather ugly.
