Been Getting A Few: Letters in the local Daily Echo again lately, if you're interested, they're here: http://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/search/?search=alan+burridge in no particular order.
Again, local people around here amuse me. If I bump into them, as you do in a small village, and start a conversation, they are surprised at your local knowledge. And yet for £2-60 a week, THEY can buy the same newspaper and read the same news as I'm talking to them about. It's hardly a fortune, and you barely miss it at 40 pence weekdays and 60 pence on Saturday, which includes a weekend colour supplement.
Nowt as funny as folk, as they say up north.
