This is a lovely book. I really enjoyed it—partly, I suspect, because I have a similar sense of humour to that of the author and also because I am generally curious about life. [...] The author is good at explanations. I like that. Eclectic—that’s what this book is. And rambling—in a good way (after all, these are walks). I liked it. I hope Richard Carter is writing another volume of his thoughts. I’ll buy it.

So would the police have used a hook and cane to catch him?
"We've finally netted him", said a police spokesperson.
Police say he was battered to death.
Electric eel on battery charge.
The police press release said "He was well gutted but at least he was in the right place".
If this were the USA, he would have fried.
He sounds gill-ty to me.
It's a fair cop, o-FISH-er!
A spokesman from the CoD, Inspector Rod Line, said after following a few red herrings the suspect was in the dock because of their dabs.
What a vicious bastard. Bream.
I can't get the hang of this.
The scales of justice.
Fin.
