I know it's been many years since the DT and ST were real quality

sending hundreds of tons of newsprint round the country every day comes
to an end, anyone?-and the papers must be haemorrhaging cash.
Phillip Eden's successor at the ST is Peter Stanford,a lightweight
waffler who today came up with a classic.
Talking about the two ways of looking at winter's end, he said that one
way was the end of February, and the other was the astrological
way-i.e.March 21st.
Like almost everybody and his wife these days, he must have a degree.
Did he get it from the University of Glastonbury?
What started off as a lament for the quality press, and continued with
the usual gratuitous vulgar abuse from a resident troll, has ended up
with sad news about PE.
I've followed him for at least at least twenty years. Where else would
you find out that in the 1850's-60's Sydney had its coldest ever
winter's day? A southerly blast from the Antarctic with a max. temp. of
3C! Coming from any other source you wouldn't believe it.
All the best PE. Get well soon.



Unfortunately, all good things come to an end eventually. :-(

That's a bit trite. Phillip is only 64.

Yes just a few months older than me and I feel young still.
