I don’t know about you, but it has been near lethal to get out of the front door this week and the lane has been covered in ice. You take your life in your hands to merely venture to the post box to send those last minute cards, first class only now I’m afraid.

Granite City is a new TV drama set in… yes, you guessed it Aberdeen. It features a fairly odd couple pairing, though nothing as strange as Turner and Hooch, the star of which was, sort of Tom Hanks, but really it was Beasley a burly, brown-nosed Dogues de Bordeaux that carried the world’s reserves of saliva in his mouth. In the same way in this series the actors...

You may have noticed amongst youngsters there is new epidemic, no not Strep A, sweeping the country and that is the “Elf on a Shelf” which comes from a recent children’s book and it requires the house holder to move an elf, which was handily sold with the book around the house every day before Christmas. It’s now become a tradition: Even though the tradition only dates back...
