This England

Published 04 September 2000

I saw you on Saturday 5 August. You: dreadlocks with jeans and DMs begging outside the Midland Bank. Me: pretty blonde girl with mates who kept walking past you giving you money in hope of attracting your attention. After giving you about fifteen quid, you got up and left without a glance. Meet same place Saturday 26 August. - Personal ad in Venue (Francis Harvey)

Staff of a wildlife sanctuary at Highbridge, Somerset, are planning to hold an ID parade of tortoises so that a valuable specimen found on a road nearby is returned to its rightful owner. - Western Morning Press (Sigrid Rabiger)
