This morning at the petrol station I happened to notice that the only national newspaper which had not chosen to lead with that story about the whale in the Thames was the Daily Sport who had gone with a story about a women whose been arrested for paedophilia. For the first time in history it appears the Sport can claim the moral high ground!

It appeared that the main stream press had let us down today until I saw the full page article on page 3 of today’s Telegraph and Argus. Basically the writer of the article is upset the Seabrook's crisps will now be sold in those foil bags instead of old plastic kind. Thank God for the integrity of the local media, I wonder if they give a Pulitzer prize for the best newspaper article about crisps!

There is currently a petition on the web to get Seabrook’s to revert to the original plastic bags. It has been signed by 84 people and no I’m not one of them.
