   old bags? That's not very nice.

   It's interesting that a woman named Kristine is credited as part of the family. Who was the sire?

   Mystery flock of sheep invades school:

   "There was poo everywhere, it looked like they had been there all night - the children loved it.” If you're wondering why the children had been there all night, television has yet to come to Devon.

   That must be the most exciting event in Devon's history

   My neighbour's car has Zion Lights fitted to his car: they've got that blue tint

   Did the headteacher think the umbrella would stop them falling in ?

   It was some kind of OFSTED inspection scam. As soon as they got their 'much improved' rating, the sheep were gone. Disgusting.

    Investigative journalists don’t always protect their sources.

    Also, if you want an incredibly brilliant way to check if you had PPI, then you need to find a copy of the Eastbourne Herald.

    In a demonstration of solidarity with their comrades in Soviet Russia, Eastbourne shoppers today formed a queue outside a hardware shop.

    https://www.theargus.co.uk/news/17228563.wilko-opens-new-store-in-eastbourne-shopping-centre/

    According to Facebook, this is their 400th store in Eastbourne. I tried to find out how many stores they have in Bexhill but the press office had gone to lunch.

    In order to give best possible customer experience, shop closes.

    https://www.theargus.co.uk/news/17280514.flagship-store-hm-is-closed-at-eastbournes-beacon-centre/

    PS

    In fact, the shop never opened.

    Well done, H&M! You are hereby voted the most service-oriented shop in Eastbourne.

    I noticed all the other cows looking on, not trying to help. Typical

    They said they weren't being unhelpful, but had just been told that they could have placed themselves in jeopardy under EU health and safety legislation - something they believe won't be a problem when they've taken back control.
