Ha! First I've heard about that one. That does seem particularly odd!
What do you talk about on that island of yours then, if the only newsworthy event to happen there in a lifetime doesn't get a mention?

Only newsworthy event? We've had a few that have made the national news in the past year or 2! We seem to get discussed in the house of lords quite a bit too for some reason. I suppose they need something to do other than spend extreme amounts of money on posh food and other perks.
That's a pretty minor police event really. The house 2 doors from me getting torched by the son of the woman who rents it (while his younger brother was upstairs asleep!) was probably a bigger one. The guy climbing to the top of his ship's mast while it was alongside the quay and then jumping to his death was also a bigger story. I think the fact that his yacht was being searched by customs at the time had something to do with it. I think the haul was £2 million in cocaine. I could go on...
