Watching the News

A search on Google News for “Emley show cancelled” returns a number of news stories in the main stream media (and the main stream parts of the main stream media at that) which add the Emley Show to the list of events cancelled due to Foot and Mouth.

Foot and Mouth emerged last Friday. I had already been driving past signs saying the show was cancelled for a week by then. I can hear the black helicopters circling already. The real reason (as some news outlets correctly reported, therefore making the inclusion of its cancellation rather pointless in their pieces) according to the Emley show website is that the fields used for the show (and associated parking) have received quite a lot of water of late, for a while holding a small lake near the bottom.

But one does wonder why suddenly lots of places reported it. maybe because their website shows up in a google for “Show cancelled”? No, that cannot be right. They are all because of flooding…. Odd.

Meanwhile, the Eye always makes good reading
