            The BBC sent reporter called Jonah Fisher to cover Japanese whaling fleets, and employed Sara Blizzard and Neil Sleat as weather people. Not till now did they rival The Times whose 2010 coverage on child abuse in the Catholic church was filed by a journalist named Roger Boyes.

            The BBC's online reports on the kidnapped Nigerian schoolgirls have come from

            Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
            Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
            Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

                  My Sheffield optician was a Mr Bird - I forebore to ask him about his eyeview in case he'd heard it before.
                  My all-time favourite however was in the library I worked at where we had a book on breast-feeding, published by Wright, Bristol.

                      Did I mention that when I did jury service we were given forensic evidence by local expert Dr Dabs?
