About Zero News

To judge from the nine o'clock news on Radio Four this morning, nothing much has happened in the world apart from JK Galbraith dying at the age of 97 and some Briton turning out not to be missing in Australia.

On days like today why don't they cancel news programmes and replace television's News 24 and Sky News with the old potter's wheel? Or, really radical, they could give us some foreign news - but we wouldn't like that now would we?
