Grief. I remember that case. More than a 5 minute wonder. The abduction case, I mean.

After the sordid details of the sex slavery acts appeared in the Sunday tabloids I remember reading that she received a nomination for Sports Personality of the Year.

The Daily Mail giving a mention to The Tors pub at Belstone, where you can order a Ploughperson's Lunch.

Makes me think of the Tommy Cooper gag: "I had a ploughman's lunch last week. He was furious."

Wasn't that because she said she would have skiied down Everest naked with a carnation up her nose for the bloke she abducted? And wasn't there a band called The Joyce McKinney Experience ?

I seem to recall all the daily rags were fascinated by Mormon's underwear.

Tie me up and Joyce McKinney.

One of my favourite euphemisms of the time.
