Today Breakfast on the BBC had one big story which was the new regulations with regards to School Dinners, they had every kind of commentator, and the BBC website have collection of articles about the issue.
So I was rather shocked when driving to work today to see this poster against one of the newsagents around the corner. Our local paper The Lincolnshire Echo seems to be giving away free McDonalds all week long.
Unfortunately we only get the Echo on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday at the moment so I can’t read the small print, but I’m guessing they won’t be stopping school kids from buying them.
However that’s the only fault I have with the paper. It’s now the only paper I actually read, they’re quite nice to me and they were the ones who caught out Jim Speechley. I’ve also found myself listening to Lincs FM since I began my boycott of Radio 1, and discovered that whilst local radio has a lot of adverts, it doesn’t have either Chris Moyles or Scott Mills talking forever and also includes rather useful stuff like traffic updates and relevant news.
