Morse and Lewis

[sandyRoe]

Both these television shows portray Oxford as a city of rook-racked, river-rounded, fine old buildings, peopled by murderous academics. Are there no chavs there to commit ordinary crime?

[dotty.]

chavs don't commit clever crime, each episode would last 10 minutes!

[Tilly2]

There are chavvy characters in the books.

[flump1]

Ah Sandy...they cover small time crime with The Bill.

[sandyRoe]

True enough, Dotty. You somehow can't imaging Morse dealing with a single parent benefit cheat from a sink council estate.

[Tilly2]

He does, in the books. I can't remember which books exactly as I've read them all. 'Last Bus To Woodstock' is one I think. I would need to check.

[sandyRoe]

Tilly, next time I'm in the library I'll put in a request for it.

[Tilly2]

Let me check first Sandy.
Have you not read any of them?

[sandyRoe]

No, not a one.

[Tilly2]

Oh, you're in for a treat!

[humbersloop]

You'll enjoy them sandy

[Tilly2]

'Last Bus to Woodstock' is the first one, sandy, There are thirteen altogether ending with 'The Remorseful Day'

Actually, there is some fairly strong suspicion that a paedophile ring has been based in or near Oxford.
But, these days, where ISn't there a suspected paedophile ring ?
