I know it's early but I need to get this in the post and go to bed - I'm a nightworker!

can someone explain why 15d "Attractive woman in Suffolk picked up stolen goods (5)" is BOOTY? I don't understand the Suffolk connection

ta

[factor-fiction]

Think of Bernard Matthews. Does that help?

[sandyRoe]

Does a Suffolk accent turn 'beautiful' into 'Bootyful'?

[factor-fiction]

.. although this was Norfolk not Suffolk

Yeah, I'll buy that but I thought he was a Norfolk geezer and it's a tenuous isn't it?

thanks

[factor-fiction]

I think the clue is okay- maybe Norfolk would have been better but maybe Suffolk people also say 'booty' for 'beauty'

[howardbikes]

Perhaps it's the way people in Suffolk pronounce beauty - as in Bernard Mathews turkey advert?
