Mr Portillo told The Sun: "Very well researched."
Some of those are pretty tenuous, the SWT one looks totally different. It's got a bit of red :confused1:
Smacks of The Sun scratching around for things to publish. No surprise there.
I enjoy Micky Portaloo's programmes, a relaxing bit of railway and travelogue related TV.
Me too but I wish he'd open his eyes more. He always looks like he's asleep :goggleeyes:

More like The Sun trawling Twitter for anything they can copy to fill some space.
