Great Grandmother Cocaine Quiz

A 72-year-old great-grandmother from South Shields on Tyneside lost her purse the other week. She popped into her local police station in case it had been handed in - and it had. In the process, it had caught the attention of the constabulary due to the presence of a substance they thought might be cocaine. In fact, the white pills were just her artificial sweetener. The Sunday Sun ("the North's own Sunday since 1919") says she's no smackhead. No indeed.
