Tuesday 26th April
Usually I cannot compete with the Lahndahn-based celebrity spots of End Of The Pier, but today I feel I may have eclipsed all sightings. Whilst in town today on a portfolio sourcing trip, I spied a lorry with a giant jumbotron-type screen showing BBC News 24 in the car park of a industrial estate on the edge of the town centre.
Walking on I saw lights and dishes and lo, the BBC News double decker. In DFS car park. Showbiz How exciting thought I, maybe I'll get to see Paxo or Andy Marr. No such luck (I'd have to follow the helicopter). The perfectly coiffed George Alagiah in a perfectly pressed grey suit was on the upper deck in front of the cameras. Boo. On the upside, the circus was added to by a UKIP caravan tastefully decorated in yellow and purple parked next to the big screen. Yes, caravan.
Apparently, my town "oozes middle England affluence, from the smart businesses and corporations to the litter-free, leafy streets..." Heh. Gawd Bless the BBC.
Scary downing of a good read and a good person- Beyond Northern Iraq was hacked earlier today...
