From Steve Tanner: I thought you might be interested in the rather unusual pheasant that has been frequenting Hamstead Meadow over the past week. It seems to be a loner, perhaps because the regular pheasants don't recognise him? | |

Spoof news scoop |
|
| Apology | Currently there is not a lot of spoof news. Sometimes there just isn't any news, but it doesn't stop the BBC from filling a half hour slot at 1pm with no news and repeating the 'no news' every hour on the hour. Here at Chidham and Hambrook, we tell it like it is. However, we promise that just as soon as one of us gets round to writing some news, we will let you have it, up to the minute, just as its breaking, raw, unvarnished, cliche free, and without any attempt to hide the earth shattering implications for the local community. |
| Disappointed? Have a look at the spoof news archive |
