Mind you I suppose we get variation unlike the States where the news programmes don't even know the rest of the world exists.

Believe it or not Lancsdave, we did get this news in the States. We even received the news of Diana, Camilla, Princess Anne's "criminal" behavior
, and oh yeah, we heard something of that chunnel thing. Is that a new amusement park or something?
In fact we've been getting news of England ever since the phrase The British are coming, The British are coming! I believe that was when the Beatles popped in.
Oh, and on topic, don't care about these stories whether from over there or the Anna Nicole waste of news space or O.J. Simpson, Britney Spears, Paris Hilton etc. However, as hard it is, I respect the Monarchy and have incredible pride whenever I hear "God Save The Queen!" Finally I believe Victoria is doing a spot on job over there!
