The UK news thread.
 
A few little snippets from UK skynews.

This is the place to post 'little stories'

Zara Philips has sold pictures of her new baby for 150k.

Sales of cheddar are down, I must say it is one of my favourite cheeses.

How does this fall under the category that explains the Spain section of this site ?

Useful info for living in Spain ?

I see it's been moved to Siesta Time.

I expect it won't be long before it's in Plaza de Toros.:lol:

As UK Sky news did an article on a landslip, and put Bournemouth in Hampshire, I would take any geographical location they give with a big pinch of salt.

Humble apologies for putting it in the wrong place.

Well to be fair to them it was historically in Hampshire until the 1970´s when it became part of Dorset.

Or the person who compiled the item is stuck in the past or maybe refuses to accept change.

I had a quick flying visit to the UK over the weekend. I'm glad to say that despite all the news stories of floods and storms, it was actually very pleasant. I was lucky enough to catch two sunny days, and with the daffodils out, and trees starting to blossom, it felt very Spring-like. :thumbup:

This seems to be the biggest ongoing UK media story at present.

http://www.theguardian.com/media/gre...rman-dailymail

Despite protestations and accusations from H.H. it seems the D.M.has proved it's point and she's had to back down and apologize.

Re: The UK news thread.
 
Is that " REAL " Cheddar or the industrially produced cheese that calls itself cheddar that could come from almost anywhere in the world these days ?
