Personally delighted that Sussex, who racked up £1m of losses and were deducted 12 points because they needed emergency financial help, still finished third.

Well that’s how to end an obituary. (the Times). RIP.
He returned to the BBC in 1993 and in addition to reading TV's One O'Clock News for six years, he also presented editions of Assignment, Correspondent, Panorama and Call Ed Stourton, a phone-in programme on
Radio 4.
After switching to Radio 4's Today in 1999, he was contracted to present 110 shows a year, which he considered a perfect number.
Broadcasting, he said, "should be like having sex - you should do it 2.5 times a week".

The graph of projected falling school populations in England is really interesting. Assumes falling birth rate and falling long term migration (but with increased uncertainty over that migration trend)

Absolutely staggering official social media put out by the England men’s cricket team. This is Rob Key, the MD, answering a question which is subtitled in the first frame.

Once upon a time everyone used to have to watch obscure cricket, maybe this was a good thing (in June 1970 ITV in London broadcast two days of a minor counties match from Gateshead, who can say why)
