Thanks for this story, mudricky. Are you having problems using the highlight tool?

No, when I posted the story at the time the news was so new that the only media site that had the news story was the BBC, but when I posted that link the BBC only had one paragraph. The story I posted had a lot more detail.
I didn't see the need as basicly the story was original because the story was from where I live, I knew of the story before the BBC posted it.
Cheers.
