Man thanks NHS for saving his life

[Northerner]

Benwick pensioner Lionel Bradford has thanked all the NHS staff who treated him after he sustained life-threatening injuries.

Mr Bradford (79) suffered crushed ribs and a punctured lung after he was trapped underneath his mobility scooter in his garden.

Life is really exciting in the Fens, never mind the tragic accident - the headline is about him thanking the NHS and then there is this from the same paper:

It?s 99 Days to Christmas on Tuesday (17th September 2013) ? and 99p Stores in Wisbech is looking for the WACKIEST Christmas dish on dinner plates this Yuletide.

The single-price point brand today reveals that just before last Christmas there was a sudden surge in sales of curry sauces, rice and poppadoms across Wisbech.

Why does the spell checker object to poppadom and suggest pompadour as the alternative?

I think it's an American English spellchecker Vic, annoys me when it keeps suggesting I'm spelling things wrong because I'm using 's' instead f 'z' in '-ise' words! 😡

So...99 days of torment to go, eh?
