I thought everyone knew that he was living in a London bus, on the moon, with Elvis, Hitler and Shergar.
I read it in a newspaper, so it must be true.

The only reason it was spun into such a story is because nothing ever happens there.
"Mrs Smith's Cat Missing"
Avalanche in Mountains - No-one Hurt"
"Tree Grown an Inch Since Last Year"
Seriously boring, so they have to make stuff up so the place sounds interesting. Same as Australia, that's why most of the people there are described as 'characters', because they're talked up more to make the place sound interesting.
The British cant take the moral highground over interesting news.. unless th 50th rehash about home bred terrorism does it for ya.

Such a convincing story....
"Mr Woodgate also pointed out he was five inches shorter than Lord Lucan and, at 62, is 10 years younger than the aristocrat would be now."

That it hit the headlines shows that the journos were only too happy to spin this "tramp sleeping in a car" non-story into "Lucan found living in car" scoop.
Are you a journo? If unsure, then a decent indicator is the number of empty whiskey bottles next to your bed.
Find a single article in NZ or the UK that actually seriously claimed it was Lord Lucan... you cant.. your talking out of your ass.

Originally posted by tayThe accuracy of what story? They had a reported sighting, so went to investigate, no one actually seriously claimed they found him, they just investgated it... which makes your statement look a bit silly.

It doesn't surprise me. Mrs Gonzo is from NZ so I have been over there several times in the last few years and one thing I did notice from reading their papers and watching their news is that the local journalists are not very rigorous about checking the accuracy of their stories.
