Snow stops stall ...& Eastenders

16.6 million people tune in to murder. Eastenders draws in a huge audience to find out who killed Archie Mitchell. I find it sad that so many people in this country watch this garbage, a stale negative fantasy that dwells on human misery and distorts our view of the world.

Soaps have done there bit to distort market life, too. Probably many people form their image of what being a stallholder is like from watching them. Market traders are reduced to a stereotype: chirpy, roguish, always popping in and out of the pub and taking plenty of money.

Snow prevents me from getting to Cambridge. Bloody weather!

Hi Phil!

Too true. The Media do us no favours.
