Hi Rob.........re your # 10
I think you raise a valid point, mate, and, very likely, you are 100% right. Surely no sub-editor(or editor, come to that) would sanction such rubbish unless, of course, they were as ignorant or ill-informed as Mr. Reynolds from Herne Bay. Considering the integrity of modern journalism, nothing would surprise me. If Mr.Reynolds is the genuine article ( i.e. a complete f--kwit), he would do well to refrain from making comment on something about which he obviously knows fcuk-all. To broadcast his ignorance to the world by posting such drivel to a national daily paper suggests to me that Mr.Reynolds is mentally deficient or merely a figment of the Daily Mail's imagination.

You would not find drivel like this in the sport but then nobody bought that for the stories or even the crosswords come to think of it the sport section was not to good either and all them poor ladies have to find other ways to get attention

And if they continue to publish such drivel as this they may get more 'crosswords' than they bargain for.

Where is the link 
Ask them to contact me and I will send him a copy of my book, "They Shall Grow Not Old...." detailing over 500 boys age 16 and under who died in service of the Merchant Navy during WWII

Past Fantasies.
My comments on the Mail.As it has been said dont they check to see if there is any truth in the story.They tell a story and say "a spokesperson said".For instance they tell stories something of this nature.A school in such a place has stopped the children singing Christmas Carols on the grounds that it could upset children of ethnic minority,a spokesperson for the school said.Surely if you are going to run a story like that you get the spokespersons name.The story gets followed up by the media only tobe found that it is a load of rubbish.I wonder how many stories in todays Mail where a "spokes person said"
Regards.
