YAY the wonderful people of Wigston never fail to amaze me - don't ever go there though...there seemed surprised that radio existed so this must be the sole owner of the one TV in Wigston.

Still makes you laugh when you spot a member of the public comment in such a way like this...

Well you prat - this actually happened to a friend of those talented performers in the ident. What a stupid editor to allow this kind of uninformed insensitive nonsense out into the public domain. No wonder the newspaper industry's on its arse.

Erm where's your logic? First of all it was only a friend of a performer in the ident who died. Yes very sad but people die every day and you'd be incredibly stupid to think a newspaper wouldn't print because of it.

Fool.

Don't be so ridiculous! That's like saying nothing can be shown or said about cars incase it upsets someone who have been hit by one! people are sooooo touchy nowadays. Frankly I would love to see one of those acrobats tumble to the floor for a change. Also I would love to see one of them blokes doing cartwhhels fall off the roof! Doesn't make me insensitive or a prat! Just reiterates the annoyance people have in these poxy idents. Don't take life so seriously! In the sun today they reported that we are to have temperatures in the summer of 103 degrees. How bloody insensitive! I mean those poor Africans....dying everyday because of blistering heat and famine...... see how far we can go? The list is endless! We could compare everything with everything and end up being dull, boring and bitter people. Or we could just read things as they are written, laugh at the imagery and unintentionally offensive material (not that I find it offensive) and move on. Live our lives.

Yes, it's a shame some people take such things a bit too seriously.
