Of Wrighty, Poles and pancakes


Happy Valentine's Day - whatever that means.

It's another "snippets post" today, dear reader...

  • Sad news: Britain is in shock at the news of the unexpected death of Steve Wright, one of the most popular and long-serving DJs on BBC Radio.

    His afternoon show on Radio 1 started way back in 1981, and his last broadcast of Sunday Love Songs on Radio 2 was just last weekend! RIP, indeed.

  • Gay rights news: Polish President Donald Tusk's mission to dismantle the remnants of his predecessor's repressive crypto-fascist regime continues, as the prime-time presenter on that country's national television station made a public and heartfelt apology to LGBT+ people for the decades of anti-gay rhetoric that had been broadcast on that network.
  • Shopping news: The iconic ethical cosmetics chain The Body Shop has gone into administration after six decades in business. Sigh. More gaps in the high street, to be filled by hairdressers, fast food or charity shops...
  • Good news: One of the best comedy series in the last few decades Gavin and Stacey is coming back for another Xmas special! That’s well lush.
  • And finally: Even the vicars got involved, when Salisbury's Pancake Race yesterday was moved to the cathedral's cloisters due to the rain...

Our next bulletin will be at...
