Still makes me chuckle though, I love it when an email gets sent out again and brings it up on most read stories on BBC

I don`t quite understand why, but BBC online is throwing up heaps of old stories lately. :-/

On the subject of old stories on the BBC, I was browsing on there one day and there was a piece on the front page announcing job cutbacks where I work. I angrily saved the page and showed it to my boss, asking for an explanation, only to find that it was over a year old, and it hastily disappeared off the page less than 30 minutes later!
