b'Don looks for what interests his lively mind and it is always an interesting half hour to see what has been trending. There was a lad on the television who has worked out how to save a fortune on shopping-by using vouchers He is only 16... but what a character! He goes on line and anywhere he can get discount vouchers he gets them and in one instance he reduced a shopping bill from \\xa3104 to \\xa31.30.\\n\\nWe discussed Jimmy Tarbuck who has allegedly historically sexually assaulted some bloke in the seventies. Don thinks this is all getting very silly and out of hand because no charges have been made yet (as usual). Even the speaker in Parliament has been accused of raping two men IN THEIR TWENTIES. He said he was socialising with one of his accusers just last week.\\n\\nWe also looked at the balance in the presentation of news as events are taking place in the UK celebrating the war heroes who are still around\\u2026.the North Atlantic convoys who took supplies to the Russians dodging U-Boats is one point of reference where many lives were lost and, at last, the bravery of these men is now being recognised and the few survivors are being airtime on television. To spoil this occasion there is mass coverage of Sir Alex Ferguson\\u2019s retirement. Football has its importance but this was one item with which it should not have interfered.\\n\\nThere has been a tragic speedboat accident in the West Country when a man was thrown out of the boat which then went out of control and circled around at high speed\\u2026killing him and a young girl\\u2026the other passengers were rescued but are in a bad way\\u2026.This has happened because anyone can get in a boat and put to sea. It should all be licensed like cars\\u2026and you should have to take a test by law.\\n.\\nFinally,\\u2026The Cheshire Cats is still going strong and still raising money for sick kids\\u2026our lovely barmaid Michelle is going to do a parachute jump next week {weather permitting} to raise money for Alderhey Children\\u2019s Hospital\\u2026.we are backing her with a thousand pounds\\u2026.she\\u2019s worth every penny\\u2026and pulls a great pint\\u2026..the website is www.thecheshirecats.co.uk'
