No bombs! Hooray! You don't need to make those illegal!
So,when I had everything unchecked but poison, I spotted the one murder outside your ring road there, place called Sawbridgeworth.
Now, being in England, there's no way they pronounce it "saw bridge worth," so what is it, sedgewick or something?

Well surprisingly:
"The name of the town is now almost universally pronounced in the obvious way, but this was not always the case. In the Middle Ages it is believed to have been pronounced "Sapserth", and since then the pronunciation has varied to include "Sapsa", "Sapster" and "Sapsworth", and even until the Second World War was pronounced "Sapsed". Current residents often use the casual abbreviated name "Sawbo"."

Nope, well, last I checked anyway. For safety reasons since the Brits are more about safety here. Hell, I was surprised that you could be arrested for hanging about and looking suspicious...
