Front cover of the local paper today, I couldn't be more proud and burst into tears buying it in Morrisons.  Forget the BBC Radio 4 interview that I had to fight tooth and nail to get my working class voice heard on. This... this is what matters.  My dad used to read the Sunderland Echo from cover to cover. It took him a couple of hours then he'd throw it on the floor and moan "There's nowt in it!" as we laughed at him. Well dad, today there's summat in it you would have loved to read.

Relatives visiting from up north have brought with them necessities for this Mackem down in London. First off are a few copies of The Sunderland Echo , essential reading, but better than that are a couple of stotty cakes from Greggs the Bakers. Pure delight. I've already got them in my lunchbox and they could just turn out to be the best thing about today. Just in case you don't know what a stotty cake is, and you'd like to know, you can find out more here.
