HN, can you clarify please. I can understand news media always emphasising items that have just 'broken': they seem to think it's their prime duty to be really really up-to-date and first with the news. So I'd expect it to appear on the tickertape thing at the bottom of a TV ppicture (as a pretty routine and expected piece of news, but very topical and with much public interest). But are you saying you got something labelled as an alert, maybe as a text on your phone?

Yes that's what happened - a BBC breaking news alert on my phone.


Turns out there was a Met misconduct hearing after he was charged and confessed, in which they decided to sack him. It was all over the news that day. Seemed strange to to report it as breaking news when there surely could not have been any other conceivable outcome.

      Excellent Christmas meal at Franklins!

      By Penguin68 · Posted

      It wasn't an antique and bric-a-bac shop but an antique market with a number of different traders, the cafe supported all the dealers in bringing in custom, and was good enough to generate trade for them. It was Rodney Franklin's and his partners enterprise, he previously had an antique shop in Queenstown Road in Battersea. His late wife ran the cafe (she was a very fine actress, it was a 'resting' job).  It was on the corner of a junction on the left as you head towards Camberwell. And almost opposite, if memory serves at all, an MFI style furniture outlet.

      i used to go there in the late 80's and '90s (?) the food was served cafeteria style and there was limited choice, but what there was alays tasted amazing!  The garden was an absolute paradise, you could sit in it to lunch in the summer!  i've tried to locate its site but Walworth Road has changed so much since then - does anyone remember the house number?

      This is very true. For some people, not even just the elderly, their pet/s may be their most important companion.

      Be thankful for the NHS. This is the price to treat a dog or cat. Imagine what it might be to treat a human being with cancer
