Keep it real

Nice item from South West News the other day, spoiled only by the needless insertion of the word huge: http://dlvr.it/GwP39

Apart from the fact that this sort of adjectivalising is irritating in a news story, the thing isn’t massive – it’s a pretty modest size for a fridge freezer.

Aspiring reporters please note. Also remember: for a cheap laugh, it’s often worth soliciting comments from the police because they can be so twattish.

PS: Fair play to this bloke, I say, for transporting his domestic appliances withut the use of fossil fuels. Let's see more of it.

My own efforts in this area are pathetic by comparison - limited to sticking a skateboard under the fridge/freezer/washing machine when it needs moving from room to room or garage to house. It does work really well though; you can steer it, apart from anything else.
