Its unwise to extrapolate a sample of one, no matter how large she was, to the whole population ;-)

Thaks Dave - in that case the original URL has been changed, 'cos when I did the conversion into the
tinyurl, I did a check to see if it would take me to the correct article.

The news has now moved further - a woman has been arrested. Which could explain the move of the
original story.

"WOMAN BAILED OVER HIT-RUN CRASH A woman has been arrested over a hit-and-run accident in
Peterborough which left a cyclist seriously hurt.

Pauline Hills, 58, from the Paston area of the city, suffered head and leg injuries after the
collision with a car which did not stop at the scene.

A 28-year-old Peterborough woman was arrested for failing to stop. She has been bailed pending
further inquiries.

That must be the one. When we get mown down by motor vehicles, as we do from time to time, we can at
least subscribe the driver's behaviour to stupidity, inattention, anger, arrogance or some other
human failing. Racing off from the scene, however, is sub-human.

Thanks for that. Top tip of the day: Enclose long URLs in <angle
brackets>. Should stop them being line wrapped.

You'll find plenty of them at http://www.fatchicksinpartyhats.com/ (not for easily offended fatties,
though - or anyone who's easily offended, come to that).

That's what I thought when I read in the ironing shirts thread "Take a chunky women's mag"

Or History & Geography...

There were East Angles (East Anglia), Middle Angles (now East Midlands), North Angles (Northumbria).
Its arguable that the Mercians were the West Angles - Bede says the Mercians were of Angle decent.

Put "East Angles, Middle Angles" into Google for a reasonable list of links.

NC - from the land of the south folk angles, near the border with the east saxons.

Some online newspapers use permanent unique identifiers for stories, some don't. I suspect this one
had an identifier for the main story on page X, or whatever, which will change day-to-day or
week-to-week.
