	I'm not sure, which is why I haven't put it on the main page, but I seem to remember that Antoine de Sartine (commander of the city police and Watch in Paris) had a coat of arms (as described by R.A. Wilson) which is not a million miles away from that which was withdrawn from the Vimes family, following that unfortunate business between Old Stoneface and King Lorenzo. Wonder if this historical figure was on TP's mind when developing the character of Vimes, as Sartine by all accounts ended up as more than just a mere policeman... he went on to become a diplomat, a spymaster, and ultimately an Admiral with responsibility for modernising the French fleet. Given what Vimes has also been tasked with, two out of three of these (diplomacy and a certain necessary overlap with espionage)ain't bad! Vimes even scores a half-mark on the third: for comandeering a ship and sailing it accross the Circle Sea during the recent outbreak of football with Klatch. Admittedly, he did it by holding a crossbow to the head of the Captain, but it could be argued that an Admiral (who always outranks a mere Captain) has every professional right to do this, and the crossbow is usually accepted as an implicit courtesy detail by most navies.

	Re. location of Old Lemonade factory, I've been musing on whether it's the one suggested here (between Butt's Treat and Squeezebelly Alley) or whether it might instead be on the other side (between Knuckle Passage and Broadway). I have finally found a helpful paragraph in Fifth Elephant describing a scene just near the Brass Bridge: "Colon pulled a couple of round, white‐painted paddles from his belt, sighted on the Watch House semaphore tower peeking over the top of the old lemonade factory, waited until the watching gargoyle signalled him...". So, if the sempahore tower is sighted from the Brass Bridge with the lemonade factory visible in-between, this would seem to confirm the latter. Would others agree with this? Any conflicting evidence found? --[[User:Filipendula\|Filipendula]] 14:37, 02 July 2016 (CET)		Re. location of Old Lemonade factory, I've been musing on whether it's the one suggested here (between Butt's Treat and Squeezebelly Alley) or whether it might instead be on the other side (between Knuckle Passage and Broadway).

			:: Holmes does refer to the Baker Street Irregulars as 'the unofficial force', but the Holmesian potential inspiration does seem rather distanced from the impression I get of the Cable Street Particulars by the age of those involved and the positive/negative activities/connotations. As for making a page for crime, I might well do. I haven't been keen on creating pages in the past - trying to follow the 'work on stubs first' rule and I hardly want to go ruining all the hard work that's gone into this brilliant wiki by making pages that aren't up to the same standard as the other content on here. I think the hardest part would be not quoting - at present my main source would be the {{CAM}} and the mentions linked to [[The Laws and Ordinances of the Cities Ankh and Morpork]]. As for guild roles/links I expect the key thing is self-regulation and demarcation under the current rulership and the traditional activities/practices. As you say, it's linked to when the rules surrounding what would normally be considered crimes are obeyed - therefore a big part would be defining those rules, what's acceptable and what isn't. I'll probably sandbox something in Word when I next get a chance.

			:: Hmmm, sort of. Perhaps a redirect (I'd of thought the search term 'crime' would have got a result) or a link on the AMCW page may be of use. Also, it's lacking a lot of the info included in {{CAM}} about crime (e.g. Miming, Illegal substances, Street crime, murder, begging, Malicious Morris Dancing, etc) since that page is about the contents of a specific book, rather than the general concept of crime and punishment. --[[User:GallifreyanWitch\|Verity]] ([[User talk:GallifreyanWitch\|talk]]) 02:30, 20 April 2014 (UTC)
