That's outrageous!

Pound to a penny it's some little teenage snot who thinks it's funny - well, I hope the police find him/her and give him the scare of his life.

My old man couldn't face the day without a newspaper delivery.

In fact, it takes all his grown-upness to accept that other people (ie me) might get to it first.

For my part, the joy of the...

Ooh Rainbow, the gas man will be dining out on that story for years.
