GOOD news and bad news. At last the dreadful self promoting TV show "Are You Still Being Serviced" has finished. Bad news there is another one planned.

If there is a god of terrestrial television, please deliver us from this evil. My conclusion from what was shown is that Blackburn's drains must be the cleanest in the country but above ground we could well compete with Iraq. I'm sure that the two "jet team members" are hard working chaps and no doubt will shortly appear on some sort of "I'm a celebrity get me out of here" rubbish. But how many more times do we have to see a drain being emptied?

We must have seen the last drain emptied and there has to be much more important and entertaining departments, even then extremely brief visit to the crematorium has much more entertaining. Send the programme to Room 101.
