WE sat down to watch the BBC 10 o'clock news last night, wanting to keep up with what's happening in the world.The main item was that the man accused of masterminding the 9/11 bombing of the twin towers is to stand trial in New York, not far from Ground Zero. He is currently being held in Guantanamo Bay. Informative though this is, was it the MOST important thing that happened in the world yesterday? And it wasn't just the facts that were reported, we also had interviews of people, some who think he should never be allowed to tread on America's soil, others who think it's right he is tried there.
After about seven minutes, the BBC had milked the story as far as they could and we passed on to other news. And only just in time - I was fast losing the will to live!
No the most important news yesterday was that National Express gave up the Eastcoast franchise at midnight and handed the keys in to the treasury.
