Healthy Hammond behind the wheel
Richard Hammond-top gear presenter and Brainiac boffin-has been on his first drive since the September crash. Recovering from the brain injuries Hammond drove one of his sport cars around Gloucestershire on a Sunday afternoon. Although having to pass a 2-hour test he enjoyed every second of it. He stated "It was wonderful to be away from everything, being able to tootle around the lanes in the foothills of the Malverns in Gloucestershire on a sunny Sunday afternoon." Hammond was advised by doctors to take things slow and easy for now so he’ll only be taking short trips.
Bullying has to STOP
Schools minister Jim Knight demanded for pupils to speak up and fight the bully. This year’s anti-bully week (20th November-27th November) is all about the people who watch those who get bullied and do nothing about it. Jim knight stated that it was “vital” for people to stand up for those around them and to eliminate the ongoing problem of bullying.
Anyone can be bullied; stars like Radio 1 DJ Sara Cox, singer Jo O' Meara, and former England football captain Gary Lineker were all bullied at school. Since 1999 the government has made every school have an anti-bullying policy. It means having sessions where you can talk about past experiences. There are many things to do if you’re getting bullied however the most important thing is to TELL SOMEONE.
Local Chippy smells like chips!
A fish and chip shop has received a complaint from its local council. The complaint was about the smell of the shop; it smelt like fish and chips-I never saw that coming. Steve Morton-owner of the chippy in Wakefield, Yorkshire-thought the letter was a joke. He announced "I didn't think there was a problem, if anybody can tell me how to make fish and chips not smell like fish and chips, I'm grateful." Later the council admitted that there’s no reason why a fish and chip shop shouldn’t smell like a fish and chips, and that they shouldn’t have accepted the complaint in the first place.
