Prostiutes & Kerb-Crawlers

Track of the day - When I saw Her Standing There - Beatles.

I'm not sure that a charge of 'prostiution' would hold up in court. Perhaps the lady should protest about lousy spelling. Here in Bogsville the police are out catching kerb-crawlers not 'prostiutes'. The local paper publishes the guys' details, well most of them. The police claim to have arrested 65 crawlers in the last two years with a successful prosecution rate of 90%.
Yes we're rapidly becoming a bastion of 'moral uprightness' and 'upstanding decency', except when it comes to drug running, stabbing and shooting.

Detective work

I have found a crossword puzzle published in a police newspaper. It seems that the wrong grid was published in last month's edition which made the puzzle pretty difficult, even for highly trained police personnel.

This month they published the same clues alongside an amended grid. If you can work out the amended grid I suggest that you should blast off an application form to the West Midlands Constabulary and get signed up as a detective first grade. Incidentally the solution was supposed to be on page 15 but the Pdf file only went as far as page 14. Here's the crossword puzzle. If you can work out the revampeded grid you're doing better than me. It's at the bottom of page two of the Pdf file on this page but last time I tried to connect, the link refused to open. Server problem no doubt.

Makes you wonder how they managed to catch all those kerb-crawlers. Maybe they were on their hands and knees in the gutter.
