Moot point as the BBC has done a proper report, but I don't think that link to the Crewe local news would count unless the BBC quotes the report as well (but i might be wrong).

They only cancelled half of the tour, I know that because I'm suppose to see them for the first time in Oslo one month from now. I really hope he recoveres by then. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
