Richie - We attended a very moving rememberence service in the village church this week in solidarity with our Norwegian cousins who, as you might have heard, were recently the victims of an outrageous act of terrorist violence. The service was the idea of our happy-clappy vicar Reverend Pritchard who retains close ties to the Nordic countries through his partner, Torben, a Danish body-builder and army sergeant. After the service a spread was laid on with tea, coffee and Scandinavian fancies and conversation turned to the extreme right-wing ideology that drove Breivik to commit his vile crime. "How lucky you are" said Torben, visibly moved, "that here in the UK there are no irresponsible journalists writing badly researched, 1-sided articles in the national press causing tension and fuelling the hatred of deluded people like Breivik." Later, in the snug, Arfur Groat, octogenarian spoon playing virtuoso of these parts, gave a rousing rendition of the Norwegian and British national anthems. Amen to that, eh Rich ?
