Barmy in Stoke-on-Trent

As you know, sunny Stoke-on-Trent has been in the national news after an exclusive story in The Sentinel newspaper.
This was about a load of teachers going off to Marbella for a "conference"...mmmmm, really.
The national hacks have been falling over themselves to stick their boot into a northern city. They just love it.
(By the way, have you noticed that ever since the BBC announced that they were moving a large chunk of their operations to Manchester that they now regularly do stories about the city which portray it in a terrible light? Those southerners must hate the fact that they have to leave grotty London to move to a top city...)
Anyway, back to Stoke-on-Trent. As you know, the trip to Spain was cancelled as the teachers turned up at the school with their luggage in tow.
Now the head, having got himself into a complete mess is claiminig he may try and get some money off the hotel and airlines!
This bloke is going to have to join the real world soon. If you want to see the whole story, pop along to The Sentinel's website...
