A DONEGALDAILY.COM reader has hit out at ‘sad’ attempts to rubbish his claims that he paid €5 for a 7lb bag of potatoes.
Yesterday the reader contacted us to tell us about his purchase – just a mile or so outside Letterkenny.
Since that, some farmers have claimed that the real price should be €3.50 – and that a farmer couldn’t possibly have charged a fiver.

What a load of utter shite - the cheapo ASDA/Tesco water doesn't claim to be from a scenic water spring or any sort of mineral source, and I'm fairly sure most people know it'll just be 'tap water'.
They even compare it to Del Boy trying to flog tap water as 'Peckham Spring' - the difference being that ASDA and Tesco don't claim it to be from a mineral source..
Yet again, the Daily Fail making a big deal over nothing. God knows how they decided to use that as a top story, it seems like the sort of short article you'd find in the back pages of the Sun.

Not baffling, but candidate for headline of the year:

I thought everyone knew this - the main selling point of these is the fact it's a good, cheap source of a large number of plastic bottles, and a great way of acquiring a sealed container of water on the cheap. It's just like how value Curry Sauce is a cheap source of glass jars and something cheap to have with chips.woah wrote:http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article ... omers.html

This is a CURRENT headline story on Express.co.uk as of 22:58 on Saturday 18 August
CRUEL IAN BRADY TAUNTS DYING MOTHER
TWISTED Ian Brady has aimed a last cruel taunt at the dying mother of one of his child victims.
The sadistic Moors Murderer claimed a hidden letter may reveal where he buried her son.
Brady, 74, has enjoyed taunting his victims’ families for decades and cold-heartedly refused pleas by Keith Bennett’s mother Winnie Johnson to find her son’s grave.
Winnie, 78, who has spent 48 years crusading for justice for her 12-year-old son, has cancer and has been moved to a hospice. She is said to have only days to live. Keith’s body has not been found since his murder in 1964 by Brady and Myra Hindley, above. He is believed to be buried somewhere on bleak Saddleworth Moor in Greater Manchester.
So they have no-one working on a Saturday to update this story? At all? Winnie Johnson died last night (Friday.)
These are rather horrendous journalistic standards, even given their track record.

Who exactly though the fake soft focus background was a good touch?

Erm, isn't it blurring out another identifiable child in the photograph, in compliance with PCC guidelines regarding children in photographs?

Nick, I checked. It's not this one....
And they say nothing happens in Wiltshire!A KIND-hearted carnival-goer is appealing for the owner of a mobile phone he found after Ringwood Carnival to come forward.

As you're new to the county I'll let you off for not realising that Ringwood's in Hampshire.
However, why is the Salisbury Journal covering so far south? I'd have put Ringwood more in Bournemouth Evening Echo territory.
Nice phone, though.
