Back In Britain<br />
KEEPING<br />
IT PINK<br />
Some of the best rainbows that I have ever seen<br />
have been here in Spain, but a Scottish photographer<br />
clicked something special, as he got a<br />
pink rainbow during sunrise.<br />
Sinclair Cunningham was out in the countryside<br />
looking to capture a striking pink sunrise on his<br />
camera, when he came across the rainbow.<br />
In eight years of taking pictures, the self-employed<br />
photographer says he has never seen a pink rainbow,<br />
which tends to occur either during sunrise or sunset.<br />
The rainbow appeared in the sky at 6.00am near<br />
the ‘Kissing Trees’ in Kinghorn, Fife.<br />
Sinclair said: ‘I turned round and saw the pink<br />
rainbow and just got into position to capture it with<br />
the Kissing Trees in the shot and the rainbow dipping<br />
down into it”.<br />
I suggest that Sinclair spends some time over<br />
here, and he will have a rainbow field day, assuming<br />
it rains.<br />
SLOWEST CHASE EVER<br />
I love watching a good car<br />
chase in the movies or on the<br />
TV, but I’m not sure how high<br />
my excitement levels would<br />
have reached after a man was<br />
arrested last Saturday night after<br />
leading a<br />
leading a 14mph police chase in<br />
a stolen tractor!<br />
Armed police chased the runaway<br />
driver after he refused to<br />
pull over on a road in Lincolnshire,<br />
and attempted to stop the<br />
STRAY KITTY CHAOS<br />
Sparky the kitten caused a lot of She had heard the kitten’s meows<br />
bother as he got trapped in a car, from her lounge but when she went out<br />
which then had to be partially dismantled,<br />
as Sparky was firmly She called her father and they eventu-<br />
and checked she could not find anything.<br />
wedged in the engine compartment. ally tracked the cries down to her car’s<br />
Six-week-old stray Sparky’s plaintive<br />
cries were heard coming from Zoe A wheel and the headlights had to<br />

Slocombe’s parked car in Huntingdon, come out so they could reach the kitten ,<br />
Cambridgeshire.<br />
and they wrapped him in a blanket and<br />
Her father then took the front of the gave him some food and water before<br />
car apart to get to the kitten.<br />
taking him to a vet.<br />
Ms Slocombe(cue pussy joke from “Are Experts said the little kitten was<br />
You Being Served” ?) said she wrapped lucky to have survived and he’s been<br />
the kitten in a blanket and he is now being<br />
cared for by the RSPCA.<br />

vehicle because it had no lights<br />
and was believed to be stolen.<br />
However, the driver ignored<br />
their warning signals and led the<br />
cops on Britain’s slowest ever pursuit<br />
– causing damage to one police<br />
vehicle.<br />
Armed officers were forced to<br />
get involved and form a road block<br />
to bring the motorist to a halt<br />
near Market Rasen.<br />
Don’t expect this chase to hit<br />
the big screen soon!<br />
NESSIE’S AN EEL<br />
I’ve been to Loch Ness in Scotland<br />
a couple of times, and of course<br />
it’s all about spotting that monster,<br />
which of course has been<br />
a great fabrication just to boost<br />
tourism.<br />
But scientists from New Zealand<br />
reckon they have come up with an<br />
obvious reason for what Nessie might<br />
really be, namely giant eels.<br />
The researchers have tried to catalogue<br />
all living species in the loch by<br />
extracting DNA from water samples.<br />
Following analysis, the scientists<br />
So much for some species of ditional fish being served up with<br />
trachips<br />
back in Britain, as a survey<br />
done by The Mirror newspaper<br />
shows all kinds of stuff, including<br />
endangered species of shark being<br />
sold at chippies.<br />
A DNA probe found dishes such as<br />
rock salmon contained spiny dogfish<br />
and starry smooth-hound.<br />
A Mirror investigation discovered<br />
threatened spiny dogfish and starry<br />
smooth-hound were being passed off<br />
have ruled out the presence<br />
of large animals<br />
said to be behind reports<br />
of a monster.<br />
No evidence of a prehistoric marine<br />
reptile called a plesiosaur or a large<br />
fish such as a sturgeon(Not, Nicola) were found.<br />
down the years may in fact have been<br />
giant European eels, based on the<br />
Catfish and suggestions that a DNA samples.<br />
wandering Greenland shark were Not exciting, but using logic, we<br />
behind the sightings were also discounted.<br />
Ness Monster sightings, and a blow<br />
probably have the answer to the Loch<br />
But they have reached a conclusion<br />
that some of the Nessie sightings<br />
FISHY BUSINESS<br />
as rock salmon, huss and rock eels to<br />
unsuspecting customers.<br />
Campaigners have now called for<br />
better labelling so wholesalers and<br />
chippies know exactly what species of<br />
fish they are selling.<br />
Scientists tested 15 battered samples<br />
bought at resort towns including<br />
Bournemouth, Brighton, Clacton,<br />
Great Yarmouth, Newquay and Poole.<br />
The Marine Conservation Society<br />
said the research showed “most consumers<br />
are completely unaware of<br />
to the local tourist industry.<br />
what they’re eating”.<br />
Its head of fisheries and aquaculture<br />
Samuel Stone added: “Chippies should<br />
provide better information and labelling<br />
at the point of sale.”<br />
That’s fair enough, but I suspect<br />
chippies are being sold stuff that is not<br />
the real deal, and I do have some sympathy<br />
for them.<br />
UNIFORM<br />
NONSENSE<br />
It’s been “back to existing students.<br />
school” for the last So no skirts for<br />
week or so for many girls(really), and the argument<br />
is over “concerns”<br />
youngsters in the UK,<br />
and also in Spain, and over the length of the<br />
that means that there skirts, with the new rules<br />
had to be some institution<br />
getting embroiled of transgender pupils.<br />
also catering for a handful<br />
in a row over school 150 parents and pupils<br />
uniforms.<br />
staged a protest over the<br />
I’m from the radical gender neutral uniforms,<br />
view of things that they with the protestors saying<br />
that the youngsters<br />
are an utter waste of time<br />
and money, and that the should have a choice to<br />
focus should be on education.<br />
believe clothes are being<br />
wear skirts, while others<br />
That’s why I especially wasted.<br />
have no time for the political<br />
correctness of the have had to buy trousers<br />
So returning pupils<br />
Priory School in Lewes, for the new school year, as<br />
West Sussex who crazily the skirts are dumped.<br />
decided to make trousers It just doesn’t make any<br />
compulsory for new and sense.
