COLD COMFORT

Most of us cannot grasp the reasons for the current world financial crisis. So now it's been revealed North Lincolnshire Council invested £5.5-million in Iceland, it's maybe just as well Iceland's shop in Brigg closed down a few years ago. Otherwise, those of us who don't understand these matters of high finance and faltering banks, might have been giving the Spring's Parade shop the cold shoulder!
OK, we all know the store chain, advertised on TV by 'typical British mum' Kerry Katona, is not connected to Icelandic banking.
But how many of us in Brigg, and other parts of North Lincs, had any idea funds from so many local authorities in Britain were going to the homeland of the geysers who always seem to run West Ham United?
