OT: News sources
Anonymouslemming
news from?
I normally use the BBC and Google News, but I'm interested in finding
more about local stuff and I can't find any decent sources.
Yesterday took quite a while to get home because City Airport was
closed. Think I can find anything on this despite local road closures,
delays to DLR and taxis all over the place? Not a chance... Same goes
for a trip past St George's pool a couple of weeks back when armed
police had two lanes of the Highway closed and traffic in a
contraflow.
Ok, I admit - I'm nosy :)

Not that I've seen fortunately :) There was a politics based one but I
think it faded when people realised that there were about 4 people
rehashing the same arguments over and over.

Oh for that I do the school run in the morning. 10 minutes in the
playground and I know *everything*.

..and a few hours hanging round the post office / village shop should
fill in any blanks.

I saw plenty of new snow last week on the Hintertux glacier. Took the
gondolas up to 3250m to find nothing but white snow and cloud. Visibility
was about 20m, and the skiers looked a bit miffed.
Apparently, it sometimes looks like this

Proof you can ski?
That's not here, it's the group next door.
