You can wait all year...

...for a story on Wilmslow. Then, like buses, two come along at once.

Wilmslow, that leafy affluent corner of our fair county, is fast turning into a hotbed of violent crime, it appears.

First, Kerry Katona is held at knifepoint. Then, a golfer is attacked with a hockey stick.

Interestingly, the second story was positioned on both the Manchester and Merseyside news pages on BBC Online, while Katona only made it to the Manchester page, despite being from Warrington in west Cheshire. Wilmslow, of course, is so far east it's practically in Manchester. If Katona wasn't so famous that she was a headline story on the entertainment page too, we might have missed it.

Hijacked headlines

We swear, in all the months we've been running this campaign, much as we want to see Cheshire news get reported we do not want Z-list celebrities blocking up the cybersphere and preventing real news from being reported.

If you're wondering what we're wittering on about, it's Kerry Katona being held at knife-point. Not that we wish Ms Katona any ill-will, just that we think there are more important things happening in the news.
