    Shit, why do they have to mention the father's profession and what relevance does it imply. Surely we would be less shocked if the father had been a candle stick maker? By the way, I like burning stuff.

    Why not run a draw on the most likely time an Essex plodclown and 'educatid' grammar authority, will attempt to correct the headline?

    Double fail:
    According to the latest grammar nonsense, that is the only place for an apostrophe.
    Even if it was in the old fashioned place it still wouldn't make any sense.
    I wonder if they do this sort of thing deliberately.

    Quite! Mind you, I think most of our candles come from China these days...

    "Norfolk constabulary I assume?"

    *chuckles*

    "I wonder if they do this sort of thing deliberately."

    I don't think they are that bright.
