Life is one big joke?

I read with a groan that some stroppy woman got the hump when a Radio 4 bloke assumed that the chief constable of her area is a he, not a she.
    But with 43 of the buggers in England and Wales, who’s going to keep track of them?
    How apt that this happened on the next page from a Craig Brown column with the title “Got a grudge? Then you’re in the right place.”
