WalesOnline - is this really news?

*sigh*

Really? Any excuse to publish an anti-English article.
How dare they sack our Tom Jones!
It then proceeds to tell us that Tom Jones is by far superior to his replacement, Boy George. Or in fact better than anyone.

Today, ladies and gentlemen, we bring you cheese on toast recipes.

Only 20?

I take Zach's point which is why I don't provide links.

Having said that the descent of the former "National Newspaper of Wales" into a trashy clickbait site is funny as well as tragic. These are currently 'Front Page News' 'stories';

"9 stalls at Picnic Penarth you've got to stop at"

"23 restaurants that we would love to see in Cardiff"

and...

"You won't believe what student accommodation in Cardiff looks like now"

Buzzfeed has ruined journalism. Everybody thinks they're a cutting edge reporter now.
