Would a kind Brit Doper translate this housing term for a yank. I thank you.

Can’t remember the new-world term, but it means a house which shares a wall with the one next door (and only one). An is pretty much a synonym for ‘suburban’.

Your second “did they?” - he hasn’t been charged with anything, yet, and the BBC has been playing excerpts of the interview all day.

Well, the following text accompanies the audio interview on the BBC website (doesn’t seem to allow a direct link, but it’s linked to from the front page of news.bbc.co.uk at the time of writing):
“This interview was conducted by BBC reporter Trudy Barber. Mr Stephens’ request was that it was for background purposes only and not originally intended for broadcast. Subsequently, a copy of the interview was made available to the police.”
He hasn’t been charged with murdering any of the women yet, has he?

Oh, OK, he hasn’t been charged…
Does this make a difference to your point

I don’t understand the objection. Plenty of Panorama-style TV investigations, and other newspaper ones, have uncovered important evidence of crimes. In many cases, it’s broadcast and also supplied to the police.

That’s how the Unabomber was caught. The NYT printed his manifesto, and David Kaczynski, who already had an inkling about why he hadn’t heard from his brother in many years, read it and said, “That’s Ted…Hello, FBI?” Granted, it was not quite the same situation, because Kaczynski demanded publication, but both these guys were willing to talk, is the point.
A second man has now been arrested in connection with all five murders. He is 48 years old, and lives in London Road Ipswich.

…about three doors down from an old teacher of mine. There were a few jokes this morning about his house being cordoned off…bad taste, I know.
Did he teach track and field? Because you can’t get quicker than an Ipswich Ripper.
