Couldn't find the previous references to Jake as a famous (adopted) son of Leeds.On BBC News teletext today is a story of the janitor at an Italian convent who was apparently a member of a cocaine smuggling gang. He enabled cocaine to be smuggled inside pilgrims' prayer-books. The nuns are reported to be blissfully unaware of what was happening.Sister Josephine, anyone?All together now!"Oh, Sister JosephineWhat can all these policemen mean?Coming to the convent in a mean limousineAfter Sister Josephine............."
