A single t shirt is newsworthy. Only in Glasgow. However the folks at the Record must be creaming themselves that they have turned up yet another slant on the Simmie challenge.

Why do you think that's the case? Was it ever thus, but it now emerges more on account of looser editing due to the scale and nature of the media involved? Does it reflect a genuine decline in the general standards of such things? I certainly have a feeling that you're right, but I wonder what's behind it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
