Non-news day in Lincolnshire

Looking at the BBC news, it seems the most exciting thing to happen in Lincolnshire was.....


... some lads spent a few minutes fixing something. Yay.

Oh, I saw this whilst reading my online Daily Mail, and thought it was hilarious .

 

Now ya see, if that had been here, they would have made all the others look the same.....

 

Why does the news have to be full of bad things, i like to hear good things as well

 

I agree, but if a few lads trying to mend something makes the news, how come the news isn't chock full of such stories?

I can imagine the headlines:

"Volunteers use their spare time to maintain the town's floral displays"

"Person gives their neighbour a lift down town cos they were going that way anyway"

"Half cut clueless1 replants young tree after finding it on the floor ripped out by vandals at 3AM on the way home from a stoppy back".

"Kid says 'excuse me' instead of 'ere mate'".

"Someone grew an impressive flower in their garden".

 

There is not that much of it about probably, plus the bad things make the news 'exciting' (subjective of course), who wants to hear about good things all day, that would be boring.
