In the 1880's a famous French detective Robert Ledru, went on holiday - Now you'd think that like any good holiday maker that sun, sea and "beaucoup de vin" would be enough to rest and relax "le flic". Turns out that it turned into a bit of a busman's holidy for him. One day he was confronted by a local gendarme who had discovered a grizzly body on the beach. (maybe a Yorkshireman - shagged out and boozed out (see previous post)) The local rozzers asked Ledru to solve this bizarre case. Armed with a Sherlock Holmes style magnifying glass he examinded the scene. All that was found was some footprints, Ledru took one look at these footprints and suddenly declared "case solved." Soon after Ledru plonked the evidence onto his captain's desk. It turns out that the beach footprints were missing the big toe on one foot. Ledru removed his sock and revealed to everyone's surprise that his toe was missing too. The explaination - Overworked and stressed, Ledru had begun to sleepwalk whilst on holiday. One night he had sleepwalked and sleepkilled the victim. The rozzers refused to believe him but eventually the evidence was overwhelming. Due to exemplory service he was kept under house arrest until he died 50 years later.
Ledru the detective so good, he caught himself!
You see...Learning can be fun!!
I wonder what next??!
