We were watching the "Father Brown" series on TV and my wife asked me if I'd like to live in one of those quaint English villages. "Hell no, if our little town had all that murdering going on, I'd move to the mainland. Somewhere safer - maybe Detroit."

In these shows, the local law enforcement does a poor job of finding the killers - they're totally incompetent and superfluous. Mostly it's the local priest, or country doctor, or even gardeners doing the sleuthing. It's obvious from these shows that the Brits have a disrespect for authority figures and the rich. I think they have the right idea.
