Oxford, Inspector Lewis, and Crime



I have been enjoying watching the first three series of Inspector Lewis on PBS.

British mysteries are almost always good, as is this one, and, filmed in Oxford, I enjoy seeing places I saw while I was there.

However, I am not sure if I would want to live there for any extended period of time.

What I've gathered from watching the show is that the town of Oxford has more murders than Detroit and half the professors there are the murders. The other half engage in fraud and sexual deviancy.

Which is probably why the university produces so many national leaders and international terrorists.

I'm not going to tell you which belong to the murderers and which belong to the fradulent and which belong sexually devious.

BTW - if you are ever looking for a pub to enjoy ... be wary of the ones that have a rainbow flag out front.
