You may have ended 14 years of Tory rule the same (well approximately the same) nu...
These are the special "Value for Money" awards you have been waiting for - Steddyeddy's dedication to those businesses/organisations who in turn are solidly dedicated to .......... ripping you, their public, off. Of course, the main people to blame for the high prices are people like YOU, people who pay silly prices for silly things, allowing companies and firms to overcharge and provide extremely...

Hello John, Hello Sue, Hello Billy, Hello Bobby, Hello Readers.
I was watching the Olympic Games last night and realised that there are three medal positions. I thought to myself, this must be because they are unsure who the winner of an Olympic Game is, so they give three out just, as the Irish would say, to be sure, to be sure, to be sure.
The Olympic Games are really great for sport. They...

Written to the editor of the Sunday Times to demonstrate that I, like some of his regular contributors, could also write absolute drivel. Main problem being I don't get paid for it.
Campbell the Hedghog arrived home tyred (sic) and flat. Well he had, after all, been run over by a car.
With a general election soon to be in the offing, when the run-up begins, you are bound to receive a visit to your door from at least one MP. Here is a definitive guide to what they say and mean.
In his pre, pre, pre-budget speech, the Chancellor of the Exchequer has announced a raft of new taxes aimed at taking his traditional vendetta against the motorist out of the spotlight.
Speaking from my ivory tower on Canary Wharf, I learned today that not only is poor little Maddy Mccann missing, but speaking to our royal correspondent and former plumber, Kendo Nagagranny, I have found out, and can exclusively reveal, that Diana, Princess of Wales, is still dead!...
