The wonderful world of local newspaper stories.

Of course, a lot of things the local press cover are tragic and they do a good job mainly but after a long hiatus, I had a quick look at the France 3 Regional Roundup:

Story 1:

"Wild boar smashes front window of boulangerie/pâtisserie in Rhône-Alpes. 'The glass could have fallen on the head of a client!"

Poor thing must have been hungry.

Story 2:

Agression with metal dining fork in course of flight Chicago-Frankfurt for twenty students of the Lycée St Clotilde of Strasbourg. One young man (16 years) was hit (frappé) upon the shoulder by the dining fork and another (16 years) was hit (frappé) upon the head by the same dining fork. Flight was re-routed to Boston.

The originator of the hittings is believed to a teacher from another school group.

That's enough local news for now.

I just like the bizarre stuff that turns up in local press.

We've just had a car hanging off a cliff edge, more or less. Steep, narrow road with a steep drop to the NT car park far below. It always makes feel a bit sick driving up there so the story was like one of my worst fears coming true. Poor family had to be rescued, apparently.
