News, economics and middle-age

Well, another day, another Euro. Minimum lending rate up to 4.75%, Barclays profits something like 3.7 BILLION pounds, more angst in Iraq, Afghanistan and the Middle East.

If you are of a certain age, you will remember Chris Tarrant, long before his stint on 'Millionaire', working for Central News 'doing' all the daft stories.

Those were the days (think I have said that before) - much be middle-age.
