Our problems are man-made, therefore they may be solved by man. And man can be as big as he wants. No problem of human destiny is beyond human beings.
~ John F. Kennedy (1917 - 1963), speech at The American University, Washington, D.C., June 10, 1963

Featured News 1: Tourists ask strange questions

Staffs at tourism agency VisitBritain were left scratching their heads at some of the questions posed to them last year.

They included: "Are there any lakes in the Lake District?" And: "Is Wales closed during the winter?"

At the Britain & London Visitor Centre on Regent Street in London's West End one visitor wanted to know: "What is the entry fee for Brighton?"

Another asked: "Do you have any information on Samantha Fox?"

One tourist wanted to know: "Why on earth did they build Windsor Castle on the flight path of Heathrow?"

Another asked: "Can you tell me who performs at the circus in Piccadilly?"

Other geographically-challenged queries included: "What Tube line runs to Edinburgh?"

Encounters could be just as strange north of the border at the help centres of VisitScotland, where questions from tourists included: "Is Edinburgh in Glasgow?"

Other questions posed to VisitScotland staff included: "Can you tell me where the mountain is in Scotland?", and "Are there any Sheena Easton museums in Glasgow?".

Best of all, one tourist asked: "What time of night does the Loch Ness monster surface and who feeds it?"

Featured News 2: Shopworker finds armed robber funny

A Croatian armed robber managed to escape after a shop assistant got the giggles and told him he looked like a schoolboy.

Ivana Idzan, 22, was working in a clothes shop in Zagreb when the robber ran in holding a gun and told her to hand over the takings.

She said: "He just looked so young and nervous, like a spotty schoolboy on his lunch break and it just made me laugh to think he was trying to be a tough guy with a gun robbing a store.

"He looked totally shocked when I started laughing at him and then just turned on his heels and ran."

Police are studying film from a security camera in the shop and have begun a search for the young man.

Featured News 3: Woman, 80, fights off wild boar

An 80-year-old woman fought off three wild boars - belting one of them on the nose - after they attacked her dog.

Rosemarie Hamilton-Meikle lashed out after hearing Bosun squeal as he wandered into bushes in Buckland Monachorum, near Dartmoor.

She followed the dachshund to find him lying on the ground in front of the boar.

Rosemarie told the Sun: "I thought Bosun was dead. But I think he had been tossed up into the air and left winded."

She swung her lead around her head and scared off the two females - but the male boar stood his ground.

Rosemarie, of Plymouth, Devon, added: "The lead has a heavy metal clip so I swung it and caught him on the nose. Then I picked up Bosun and walked away. Fortunately the boar did not follow."

Four-year-old Bosun was unhurt.
