(CO'Gs mate)

The EM have excelled themselves with this one, mistaking a whole country for part of another ::-)
It is indeed Cav's homeland, as often seen from Walney.
That isn't the Calf on the left, a common mistake people make when seeing it that clearly, but the southernmost of the Land of Kippers' mountains, South Barrule, remember that only land over a certain height  ( I think 200m, I'll have to calculate it) will appear over the horizon at this distance and  sea level elevation. The Calf is much too low and behind the main island.
North Wales is visible from the higher hills in Furness, but only the very tops of some of the northernmost mountains, in good weather to people who know where to look.

It's those revellers again.  This time they're causing carnage across Britain:

When's the next FNRttS?  ;D

But the photo is of a police car, not the actual car, so we don't know if it was "damn" or something ruder.

Oh! I'd assumed it was 'Police'. And rather well done.

If anything were to convince me we were in The End Times, it might be a trip to Swindon.

I think Swindon willingly embraces the end of the world.

I think the end of the world may have been limited to Swindon, where it could do no harm.

Nah.  You're all reet.  Do you want the rest of the South to go with it?  Shame to split the set.

Sadly, I didn't have my camera with me a few days ago when our local rag's billboards screamed the apocolyptic headline "Man is injured in seafront flat".

At the other end, Caernarfon often smells of intestinal byproducts. And pee. It's never mentioned in the papers though.

Loving this thread.  When I was a student my mother used to cut out stories from the Abergavenny Chronicle and send them to me pasted to postcards.  Sadly I've lost them now, gems like  Well Known Milkman Retires and Sad Death of Cat.
