A CCTV
video of a woman being dragged all the way up an escalator on her back has been
released by Network Rail to urge travellers to take care at stations this
Christmas. The footage was taken in April when the victim tripped on her high
heels at Euston station and was lucky to escape serious injury. She fell
backwards before being dragged up the full-length of the escalator.

swathes of the country are expected to experience adverse weather after one of
the coldest nights of the year so far.On Monday night, the mercury plummeted to
a chilly minus 10C (14F) in some parts of the country, with Scotland
experiencing the lowest temperatures.

Interesting to see an item from NZ on the news. Was
it an important political event, or a word shattering discovery. Neither of the
former.it was about rescue dogs that have been taught to drive cars. Seems these critters are part of a publicity
stunt to show people that rescue dogs can be intelligent and can be taught new
tricks.
Pretty newsworthy. Not as newsworthy as this item though.
A fifty foot inflatable rubber duck that was floated up the Thames this
morning, bother I missed it. And what was that in aid of? Not a charity I can
tell you. It was to promote a gambling site in the guise of a scheme to encourage
Britons to have more fun in December.
