According to the Guardian, thieves stole a French winegrower’s entire harvest – 30 tonnes of grapes over 2 hectares. A few thoughts:
How do winegrowers survive if their entire harvest, a whole year’s work, is only worth £13,000?
How much do grape-harvesting machines cost? Presumably this bloke has one for his own harvest and it sits in [...]
Brighton’s Argus is always guaranteed to throw up a decent headline or two, and the best usually end up on the posters outside shops. I wonder if this headline will be one of them: Hunt for Worthing “poo thief”?

I am finding this story hard to believe. I am not saying that I think it is not true – I do not know enough about truck specifications have a qualified opinion – just that it is hard to believe, in the same way that it is hard to believe that something the size of [...]

Several times in the past I have banged on about damaged cable TV/telephone distribution boxes. I used to call Virgin Media to report them but gave up after being faced with a distinct lack of interest from them. The only time I would persevere now is if the one that feeds my house is open.

Be on your guard: duck thieves are at large in Eastbourne. An alternative theory is that the two birds ran away because they didn’t like the implications of their names…. ‘Aromatic’ and ‘A l’Orange’.
