Don't know what's worse: the pictures, the demand for a refund or the fact he lives 5 minutes walk from the shop.
It's a hard choice.
Or the fact someone genuinely went there, and wrote a entire article about a man's melted ice cream tub.
As a trained journalist, that's unfortunately the reality of working for a local newspaper. The exciting next step up from "man stubs toe in street" is getting to sit in and report on local council meetings.

Are you sure that's a step up? Surely having to spend ages sitting in on council meetings would be a punishment? I mean unless you've got the Dibley local council
See, this happens when you remove local decision making, you bore Journalists

Nah, you get to stay inside the whole time. It's much more preferable!
You know how people sometimes go travelling to find themselves?

Or quite how London-centric everything is in this country, this far from the capital this really does constitute news.

Well seems like that isn't a issue you can fight on the beaches and molehills.
Clearly a state of national emergency.

I'm pretty certain Taco Bell could be renamed to 'Imminent Hazard' and still do the same business. We all know what we are getting into there.

I recall when Hurrican Sandy passed by the coast of Florida on its way to pummel New York. Florida news had been wall-to-wall coverage of the impending Hurricane and how the end was nigh! Then the Hurricane changed course and bypassed Florida completely. They had a breaking news story about how the Hurricane had caused a tree to fall over near Daytona Beach, no one was hurt and there was no real property damage, but daftly they still sent a Live reporter to the scene to talk about and video tape the fact a tree fell over near Daytona Beach. They covered it breathlessly for about a 5 minute segment.

Heh. Reminds me of when the Russians released thier 'old' nuclear response plans listing what their intended targets had been. Fresno, CA was listed for a 5 point MIRV and people were honestly offended. They could understand why you'd blow up San Francisco or LA, but felt it was just mean to target the city they lived in. Notwithstanding the fact that Fresno has two rifle units, a military transport unit, a military helicopter repair stations, and is a refueling point for air defense...
I imagined a tersely worded letter being sent to the Kremlin thanking them for remembering us but to please leave us out of the apocalypse next time...

they ran that story down my way when the military base down the road re-opened, although in usual Shire fluid news style them evil commies wouldn't fire directly at the base but 5 miles the other way in the main town

That's the beauty/horror of MIRVs. They would have nailed the military installations, the city, the nearby towns, and created a hell of an impassable (outside of NBC gear) hole in the map. Not that it would've mattered much since at that point the entire map could've been tossed out the window.

true but the limited 'research' they had done made up showed the blast radius falling fairly short of the base, admittedly this the early 80's, said same paper then got over-excited about UFOs that them sneaky aliens had disguised as the training planes the base used

I wonder how much they were paying before. It sounds like they were getting very little to possibly no rent and then raised it in line with other users of the hall. Of course in theory if they wanted the School to remain they should have raised it in stages not in a sudden £10K block.

Honestly I'm amazed that an exhausted male and a few pregnant females is the only problem they had! Letting a whole load of random cats roam free a night without ANY staff supervision is just asking for trouble! Heck even with staff supervision letting a load of random cats who don't know each other roam free is asking for a nightmare of catfights, stress and problems.
