Shownotes Transcript

Don's been up to the Lakes this week…wonderful weather except for Wednesday when it snowed all day…but otherwise it was great..he did a bit of hiking around Windermere. Talking of The Lakes there is a place south of Lancaster called Arkholme and the villagers are brassed off because they can’t get Broadband…because the powers that be reckon they are too far out on a limb to fit optic cables….SO they have done it themselves….they have dug the ditches and fitted the necessary electronics…AND funded it themselves…to be saluted.

The horsemeat scandal is reaching boiling point…they hav found 100% horsemeat in one of the top supermarkets offerings…..and as usual the media is trying to create mass panic…what I have yet to see is anyone who has suffered health issues…the way they go on you would think everyone is dropping dead from meat poisoning.

Some young guy has got 4 years jail for making some statement on twitter…he said he was going to blow up some airport…it was a joke…and he deleted it next day…but still got the sentence. I’m all for prosecutions for false statememts about people on the internet but this seems a bit harsh…when you consider what some get away with.

Looks like it’s over for page 3 of the Sun newspaper…personally I could never see the point of photoshopped young girls…not quite sure who it’s aimed at….it wont be missed in Liverpool because no-one buys it after their report on Hillsborough.

The Pope has resigned….did I ever tell you that I had the opportunity to meet the last Pope?....an interesting little tale
