The murder victim was called Buncis.



The murderer was Grzeszcz



But, "Det Ch Insp Richard Myszczyszyn" ?


Has the reporter's cat been walking on the keyboard, whilst he was making a cup of tea?



Good Polish names those! :-) They're not actually all that difficult to pronounce if you know the rules. Unlike English the rules do tell you pretty exactly how to pronounce any Polish word from the spelling.

I doubt anyone raised an eyebrow in the county when Polish bomber crews risked their lives over Nazi Germany.

Lincolnshire...Home of Bomber Command...

Ooh, I'd be interested in that!

I deduce you've not been to Boston for a while.

Poland was used as the catalyst to started the war.

google these names then.

Marian Rejewski, Henryk Zygalski and Jerzy Ró?ycki

Indeed. Very important people.

German expansionism was the catalyst that started the war, after a diet of 'guns before butter' and 'lebensraum'.

I wouldn't be surprised if this fella was involved..

There's proper Lincolnshire where some of us can pass for nearly normal .....

But this tragedy happened in Boston which is truly a different place - one where, to borrow a phrase from Phil Rickman, night doesn't fall. It rises....

Poles are Christian
