lol!
The river Don in sheffield was once so polluted and warm in temperature that the fig seeds in the faeces(from all those delicous yorkshire fig cakes) of the steel workers germinated ! (figs only germinate above 75°F). Attercliffe was the most polluted place on planet earth ( joke about the birds flying backwards/black tulips etc). Ah, Sheffields east end.
You wouldn't catch me wading after my cricket ball in the Don (oh lovely Don, who knows muck thou's full'on)
And you say tread softly.......
you'd need to in the Don.

Pass those hobnailed boots!

On a small islet in the Don called Strawberry island, the prison service built HMP Doncaster, known to the locals as Doncatraz. I believe it is still the case that they have yet to have a single attempt to break out. Apparently the residents belive that no-one could possibly survive the 50 or so metres swim to the shore, and even if they did they would wish they had swallowed thier pride and put up with another night in the cells with Big Barry.

Having said that, I hear that Doncaster has pulled down the multi-storey car park than won the town a "Services to Concrete" award from the British Concrete Association, which is still proudly displayed on the wall of the courts building, and the Working Mens Club where I was once called "Comrade" and bought a pint by pint-sized Claire Short. In thier place they are to erect "Education City" overlooking a splendid vista of the middle reaches of the lovely river Don, to where Doncaster College will relocate and an Arts Centre is to be founded, though it has not yet been announced whether it is indeed to be devoted to celebrating the lives and achievements of various Whinging, Sanctamonious Euro-Liberals, as is the rumour.

Well they could always let the prisoners out, and accomadate the Whinging Sanctemonious Euro-Liberals, seems a far swap to me .

I get the feeling that West Indies cricket needs a thorough structural reorganisation, although I don't know enough about the way it is organised at the moment to say how they should reorganise it. Maybe the people in charge of it should have a chat with those involved in turning England from a laughing stock to a successful team.
