Will Miss Marple at least find out who killed you?

Avoid any place in Great Britain with “Midsomer” in the name. :)

Loved it! After having recently binge-watched Midsomer Murders, that article was spot on. Beautiful countryside scenes and charming villages - with murderers lurking everywhere - especially at those village fetes.

It's not English villages that are so deadly; it's any place with English police! Saint Marie, a French Carribean island, gets an English CI... corpses start cropping up everywhere from buses to bathtubs to tool sheds! Mallorca, a Spanish island, doing just fine, gets a British policewoman, and now not even theaters are safe. And that's not even looking at Ireland and Scotland!
Defund BritCrime Police!

Avoid any village if Miss Marple lives in it. She is always murder adjacent. Why doesn’t anyone ever suspect her?

Places with gargoyles or statuary
Ghosts and monsters of stone. They are there to kill you.
Don’t blink.

‘Avoid any place in Great Britain with “Midsomer” in the name.”
Especially if it’s Badger’s Drift!

Will Miss Marple at least find out who killed you? No. And if you want your killer to brought to justice, don't get knocked off in Lower Tidmarsh.

Stay away from Midsomer County as the towns within its boundaries seem to have a very high rate of murders. lol What is there 19 or 20 seasons of “Midsomer Murders” from BBC? One of my favorite shows. When I first discovered it, I binge watched so much of it, that I was starting to speak with a British accent and use British phrasing. Enjoy it in reruns too.
To: This I Wonder32460
We have the same problem, British phrasing crept into our daily conversations, also. Bloody hell, loo, tosser, wanker, just to name a few. LOL
