    Off topic. Ironic echo news.

    Had to laugh yesterday. The sunderland echo was reporting that London is trying to "claim" Gertrude Bell from sunderland.....


    She was from Washington, so they are in fact "claiming" her from us in Washington. Daft ****s.

    Mind, if they're after honouring a famous local name, they could rename one of the stands at the Bungalow of Light as 'the Bell End'
