Happy Birthday

Congratulations to Alice Nott of Bexhill on Sea. She's 101 today.

This fact, along with details of a couple in Ashford Kent celebrating a big wedding anniversary and other birthdays and anniversaries were featured at the end of Meridian News on ITV this evening.

Have they gone completely stark raving potty?

How can this be considered newsworthy to everyone watching the local news across South East England?

Mind you, most of the programme defies the description "local news".

What goes on in Ramsgate, Hastings, Brighton and all points west is of no interest here in Oxfordshire.

This is a programme that while calling itself local features a pair of presenters sittting in front of an image of Maidstone bridge in Kent. A modest 100+ miles from Crimper Towers.

Is it any wonder I get grumpy?
