- A spokesman for a local company said he had 'no comment at this stage'. Can I have his job please? I think I might be able to cope with that.
- Someone who drove away after filling up at a local petrol station without paying at 11.50pm was described as 'wearing denim jeans with Calvin Klein underwear showing'. If they could spot that at that time of night, how come there's no detailed description of his facial appearance?
- A local crop circle spotting group camped out all night in field without finding anything. A rather spectacular, large and intricate six-sided star design was found in the same field an hour after they'd left.
- A promotion for a forthcoming advertisement feature asks the question 'Do you serve food to die for?' I do hope not.

Local News Just In
Just a quick post today as I'm working flat out on the new blog and I'm feeling a bit tired. However, a quick break this evening to catch up with our local newspaper revealed the following nuggets I'd like to share with you:
6 comments:
Hi, let's start a conversation - right here, right now! If you have a question, I'll also endeavour to get back to you over at your place.
If anyone is having problems leaving comments, do contact me on vegplotting at gmail dot com or @malvernmeet if a quick tweet is more convenient for you.
Thanks xxx
My general policy re comments
I value genuine commenters for the conversation they bring. Those aiming to link back and give credence to commercial websites (thankfully rare) will be removed.
Blog posts are kept open for your Comments for as long as possible - for at least 3 months. I've reluctantly taken the decision if a post comes in for a sp@m attack after that time, I'll remove its Comments facility. I've found genuine comments are rarely left after 3 months, but dozens of sp@m comments are :( Removing these takes away the joy that a genuine comment might be left one day.

Local newspapers are in a world of their own when it comes to reporting. There is always much head shaking and eye rolling when I read ours.
ReplyDeleteWish our local newspaper was crammed with such excitement. I'd better put some Calvins on and go out and get some petrol!
ReplyDeleteThe CCTV wasn't that good - it was Carol Klein underwear I was
