Down our way

#1 Post by killer » Thu May 07, 2009 5:38 pm

The local BBC reporters have been busy in this quiet and unspoilt part of England and have produced video footage of a local eccentric who writes a blog. The short video, towards the end, includes scenes shot in my local pub with a few of the locals (if you can understand the deepest Hampshire accent) having a chat and a chuckle.

The link is: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/8036522.stm

If the link doesn't work for you then that may be because you are outside the UK. If you still wish to see it then PM your email address and I can send you an invite to watch. Sorry about this but it is all down to the BBC charter that only gives the Beeb the right to broadcast within the UK.

BTW, Alresford, the town at the centre of all of this was full of US Army personnel in 1944 just before D-Day. Your dad might have been there.

The video worked fine from Germany.

Unfortunately I didn't understand much of it ;)

Video was visible here in California. Did I hear a "page 3" joke near the end? :)

To use an Irish expression: "what a load of bollix".
Nice pub though, I'm jealous!

Yes, Ray. 'H' said some of his cows could have appeared on page 3.

For those that don't know, the Sun newspaper (or rag) has a topless woman on page 3 in each edition.

Thanks all for letting me know the clip was visible around the globe. :thumbs-UP:
