Mansfield Girl - Becky Adlington - wins Swimming Gold Medal in Beijing Olympics
Today has been a blogging about blogging day, which needs to be done but is a bit dry.
So it’s good to have a local news story.
The UK’s first female swimming Olympic Gold Medallist for half a century comes from just down the road from “Wardman Towers” - Mansfield in Nottinghamshire.
Mansfield has an Independent Mayor - Tony Eggington, who is now in his second term, so expect some Civic Propaganda when Becky Adlington returns.
I told you that the Midlands are the Centre of the Universe.
There is more information and the BBC interview here.
