Utterly OT: How weird is Lincolnshire?

[GB]

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...

[Bob Eager]

Ooh, I'd be interested in that!

[Robin]

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

[Sysadmin]

Poland was used as the catalyst to started the war.

[Adrian Caspersz]

google these names then.

Marian Rejewski, Henryk Zygalski and Jerzy Ró?ycki

[Bob Eager]

Indeed. Very important people.

[Spike]

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

[Clive Arthur]

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

[Scribbles]

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....

[ARW]

Have you ever been to Norfolk?

Poles are Christian
