The Mail really will publish any old shite these days
Trouble is, I've just GSV-ed Frinton's Connaught Avenue. Not a lot of evidence than any other business has been forced to mute their branding - Peacocks, HSBC, YMCA, BHF, Lloyds TSB, Sue Ryder, Boots, plus various local businesses and restaurants all retain original colours or exhibit frontages more garish than Sainsbury's would have been. Compare and contrast the shop frontages at Parade, Royal Leamington Spa or the high street in Hafod, Swansea for true frontage homogeny.

I guess Frinton's Tory council treating them differently has got nothing to do with the fact that Baron Sainsbury is a Labour peer.

It's EXACTLY LIKE EVERY OTHER WETHERSPOONS! That's the point!

I wholeheartedly disagree that I am damaging Wales by expecting more (not less) of its national newspaper which has suffered a steady decline in quality over the past few years. I also wholeheartedly disagree that it is a great article, seeing it more as a precious and obstinate self-serving whinge from a Heat-magazine generation "journo" who is aghast at the concept of apparently horrendously misjudging his audience's wants and needs; and thus instead of realising this has decided that it's the audience that's wrong, not him.

So, get this.

Two transgender men (now women) are getting married (having fallen in love as men, and now both had a sex change) - and one only has twelve months to live. But the wedding can't take place, as they haven't got any rings.

You couldn't make it up...
