    The headline made me wonder excitedly if this might be Epic Dumps, Revisited.

    Alas.

      Anyway, I’m glad the Beeb covers the breaking news and current events in Norfolk so thoroughly.  I particularly appreciate their attention paid to further hedgehog-related news:

    My father used a stick to knock a can off of the head of a critter bumbling around outside of a cabin where he was staying.  I think it was a hedgehog as well.

    This is what your news looks like when you don’t have endless gun violence to spice it up.  Oh, the humanity!
