BBC news - regional pages

I think the man/woman who picks which regional page they go on, had the same geography teacher as Tommy Toes

It happens EVERY day with at least one news item.

Here's todays example:

5  men arrested over death of jewellery designer in Fernhurst

For those who dont know (like the news page moron)it's in West Sussex. But it's HIS/HER JOB to find this out and put it on the relevant page. 

It's on the Kent news page (It's nowhere near Kent, it's  close to the Hants/Surrey border ffs)

It's on the Surrey news page

Is it on the Sussex news page, where it should facking be?

Is it bollocks!!

Here's one that does my head in. Forgive me if it's already been nominated, but I'm not traipsing through hundreds of pages to check.

I buy a lot of books, generally at discounted prices. Such prices are normally highlighted to customers by a colourful sticker on the front page of the book. Does anyone else find that far from peeling off the book easily, or even being capable of easy removal by steaming, the adhesive sticker often ATTACKS the surface of the book below.

What sort of lamebrain invents a product that potentially damages the item it is trying to get you to buy? 

A particularly frustrating example last week. Acquired a beautiful book that normally trades at around 25 quid for less than half that price. Do you think I could remove the sticker advertising the Sale Price?  Could I heckaslike.
