Well, the year ends on a high with this story. This from The Metro:
Artificial leg prompts ‘paedophile panic’ at swimming pool and evacuation of children
An entire class of primary school children was evacuated from a swimming pool – because a prosthetic leg sticking out from underneath a cubicle was thought to be a paedophile.
The alarm was raised when staff noticed the foot poking out as the eight- and nine-year-olds got changed following a swimming lesson.
Teachers immediately took the children out of Larkfield Leisure Centre in Aylesford, Kent, but were stunned to discover that the foot was actually part of a prosthetic leg.
It's as if The Day Today had come true. I can't wait to read about the paedophile who was mistaken for a prosthetic leg.
Merry Christmas Britain. May you never stop being supremely weird.

Sounds like they were trying to get a leg up on things!

Sadly, they wound up not putting their best foot forward.

Maybe he realized he'd been spotted and legged it.
